Parked at Hydrant
15th street and prospect park west, Brooklyn. Observed by Peter on Sat, Mar 21 2009
Not sure that this corrections officers permit is good for anything other than a parking pass for the east -west wing of the staten island complex. That is what it looked like. But the "corrections" officer felt it was good enough to park right in front of 1 of 2 hydrants on the block. Great example of CPR.

Rikers island worker
287 East 10th st, Manhattan. Observed by lawandorder on Sun, Nov 23 2008
There's always lots of illegal parking in front of the Boys Club of New York in the East Village -- parking in No Parking Anytime zones, in bike lanes, in front of hydrants, double parking and idling, not to mention insurance fraud! Most drivers have "Official Boys Club" permits, which have no legal standing. This person had a Boys Club permit and a DOC Rikers Island placard, also not usable here. NYPD is complicit in this illegality and does nothing despite repeated 311 calls.

NYS prison guard parks in intersection
565 west 20 st, Manhattan. Observed by IamEntitled on Fri, Sep 07 2007
Double-parking and sidewalk parking are common along the block of West 20th Street at West Street where the State maintains a prison for female inmates. While IAC employees in the new glass Gehry building (rear left) are content to take the M14 and M23 buses to work, prison guards for years have flagrantly abused parking regulations in order to drive to work and get free parking. After all, it sure is convenient to drive here. But parking your car several feet into the intersection deserves special attention. And doesn't that permit look fake? Also do note the co-worker's car parked on the sidewalk.
Can this even be 'splained, Lucy?
128 East 4th street, Manhattan. Observed by gottaservesomebody on Wed, Jul 11 2007
expired meter. Regularly parked on east 4th street between. WHY would a corrections person even get a permit?
The mayor is considering congestion pricing but it would not be necessary if he had the testicles to take all the permits away.
