This guy already brought Albany to a disgraceful grinding halt. Now he is putting his constituents in immediate danger by blocking a fire hydrant only days after a second devastating fire that destroyed several businesses despite the best efforts of hundreds of fire fighters.

Two strips of the main shopping street are demolished ruins of burned-out buildings, but this elected representative doesn't seem to think fire fighting is more important than his own personal parking convenience.

Van abusing parking permit again prevents the street cleaner from cleaning this area of the street. The driver continues to flaunt the law by parking overnight and well into morning. As you can see from today's picture, the driver parks directly under the 'no parking anytime' sign. How do we stop this blatant abuse of authority? This person lives there, and is not there on 'official business'.

Driver parks in front of his apartment building overnight and during the day. Van blocked traffic during nearby visit from fire department's trucks. Van blocks street cleaners in the morning. Driver of van clearly perceives himself as above the law. "No Parking Anytime" sign is attached to pole directly in front of van, to the right in the picture (van is parked directly under sign).

Rules do not apply to the boss. As a state worker I hold a similar placard. I can not imagine any agency at this locataion worthy of a placard. For what its worth I was attending a training at Hanson place and took the train that day. Given the mentality of my agency I'd guess the owner of this vehicle is a leftover Pataki hack yet to be gotten to by Patterson. Pataki's people still run everything.

When you work on the inside, sometimes everyone on the outside seems like a potential perp or menace. You wind up not giving a damn. This parking job by state prison guards sure defies logic: three vehicles are blocking the crosswalk, making this befuddled pedestrian wonder where to cross the street.

Come on, folks -- you need to park on the sidewalks AND the crosswalks too? Or it's just so cold that you want to be as close to the front door as possible? Bet it's even colder for that pedestrian, who probably wasn't the only one to try to cross the street today.

They came out in force on South Elliott Place in Fort Greene on Tuesday. The Black Crown Vic in the middle is parked on the sidewalk almost every day, the Taurus was previously reported, and bringing up the rear is a van with some workers or contractors. The area has many reserved spots for state vehicles, and is adjacent to almost every subway line in the city across the street at Atlantic Ave. and around the corner on Fulton Street.

Another guy parking where others can't.

The sign says "NO STANDING ANYTIME" It is not right to illegal park. There are ridiculious amount of "permit only" parking space in the downtown court area, and yet own of this mercedes HAS to park in this spot.
Either way, this car should have been ticketed. Issue a summon, and then let the person appeal w/ his/her explaination as to what kind of "Official Business" that leads him/her to park illegally. :-P
And Yeah! I got your plate number. if u dont want ur plate # to show, STOP PARKING ILLEGALLY! then no one has to bit*h about their cars being targeted and the whole privacy stuff.

Admin Note: This permit is NYS Police-Executive Branch, not NYPD

This police officer parks his new, $70,000 Corvette on River Terrace at Warren Street. He has parked in the exact same spot for over a year. He uses his unmarked police car (grey Impala, plate #CWG4813, permit #058309) to hold his parking spot when he takes his Vette out. At one point he had two Corvettes. As you can see from this photo, a Vette with a car cover that hasn't been moved since before last week's storm clearly can't be on "official police duty."

Is anyone with a special plate given dispensation to park on sidewalks? Did the Pope sanction this?
