Truck parked for hours on school sidewalk, permit is only to allow not to pay meters.

[note: this is actually a DOT Agency Authorized on Street Permit, not an ABPP]

common problem here.

This permit is both invalid (not filled out) and expired! An NYPD patch in the dashboard is a nice touch.

One of those DoE teacher permits that the UFT claims is never abused, here seen being used to park illegally.

These types of permits will be invalid in a month, and only a greatly reduced number of DoT-issed permits will be valid for DoE employees to use. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

The blue building is a private parking garage on 158th street. A guy came out of the garage and asked me why I was taking photos. I said it was illegal to park here.

(This was not during a Yankee game, not that it matters since it is a fire hydrant.)

[moderator's note: fixed Permit/Agency - this is a DoE Teacher's permit, not an NYPD one]

UPDATE: This is not a school zone either.

This person's DOE permit does not allow for parking in "No Parking Anytime" zones, but their car is parked in one anyway.

The NYPD badge in the windshield is a nice touch, and probably serves as a totem to ward off Traffic Enforcement Agents. This is a very typical practice amongst uncivil servants, but it doesn't hold any legal water.

I give this driver an F in Reading, and a C for effort.

This post is for the fifth car in the photo, the blue Hyundai.

This post is for the fourth car in the photo, the gray Toyota Camry.

This post is for the second car in the picture, the black Kia sedan.

Every day, teachers park illegally on this stretch of West 77th St., which is not intended for Board of Ed parking. As a result, parents dropping off their kids double park and the street becomes congested and unsafe. This post is for the tan explorer in the foreground.

Admin, "No Parking 7-4 School Days" should be added to the drop-down menu of signs.

I didn't check for permits, but at PS 161 in Harlem on Convent Ave., these school staff park on the sidewalk every day; as with anything free and unrestricted, there's more cars parked on the sidewalk now than last spring. Another school 2 blocks south on Convent has zero cars parked on the sidewalk; I never see it there.

The car was parked in a No Parking Anytime zone, and the plate number did not match the one listed on the permit.

That "permit" doesn't grant you any parking privileges, dude.

This permit is laminated and looks real nice--only problem is that the license plate it's for doesn't match the car.

Oh yeah, then there's the problem of parking in a commercial muni-meter zone.

Oh yeah, then there's the problem of this whole thing stinking to high hell

This car and others were not only parked on the sidewalk in a "No standing" zone, but judging by the snow on the windshield it had been parked there overnight! This man very considerately left his photo ID in the windshield. Should we blow his cover?
