So many things wrong with this.

And here's the Prius.

The permit number wasn't legible in this photo either, plus it was obscured by the registration. Again, however, the plate matches the one on the permit.

This street under the Brooklyn Bridge is a city employee sidewalk parking paradise. Sad. of the more than 20 cars on the sidewalk permits range from NYPD, to DOT to Courts.

Illegal Parking to avoid loss of time and/or money - putting others in danger/inconvenience

Abuse of authority at school, 2 malls and between 2 merging streets.

Mismatch of license number between car and placard. Not allowed to park where safety hazard is created. Just selfishness and narcissism at work here.
Next to school, 2 malls and between merging traffic.
Woman was struck down by auto here 12/24/2006 - blind spots by illegally parked cars contributed to the accident.

Handicapped are not valid if create saftety hazard (e.g. blind spot at merge point of traffic flow) and endanger pedestrians. Next to school and 2 malls

[moderator's note: this is for the minivan]

This Ford Suburban is parked here so much he is regular on street view of Google maps for "9005 56th Ave, Elmhurst, NY 11373". Jaywalking is so common that a jaywalker is also represented on the street view. Three cheers for effective police presence!

Safety hazard due to impairing vision of merging motorists which adds risks to pedestrians and drivers alike. Adjacent to school facility and malls - merging streets carry mall traffic and bleed off from Queens Blvd. 56th ave is the one way street to go to junction blvd to get access to freeway.

Adjacent to school facility, malls and right smack dab in the middle of merging traffic from 2 high volume streets that support mall traffic from the 2 near by malls, as well as, bleed off traffic from Queens Blvd.

Cars parked here create blind spot in the middle of this merging traffic flow - impairing driver vision. This is a safety hazard and even handicapped permits are specifically prohibited from parking which would be a safety hazard.

This guy could have parked in any number of empty spaces around here, but chose this spot because it saved him a few steps.

I've seen this car frequently and constantly illegally parked in this area, overnight and during the day. Almost certainly being used for private use.

Another party at Gracie Mansion. This guy in the dark gray van is parked SIMULTANEOUSLY at a hydrant, in a crosswalk, and in an intersection. TRIFECTA.

He's got a powerful permit, but IT'S a PARTY and HE's BROKEN 3 or MORE PARKING RULES.

Another one to park in front of the Oldest Baptist Church in Manhattan. The Soace is was assigned by the community board so that when they have funerals or other church related events they would have the space available but. This fake pass takes up a spot all the time.

MTA cards with a bad printer

This is an official DOT car that parks regularly in the Stuy Town loop drives. It is apparently used to commute to work as it is usually parked over night (No Standing 10PM to 7AM and on weekends - No Standing and No Parking Anytime. The phots were taken on various occasions over the past month.

Project Renewal owns a number of vans. Their permits allow them to park for up to 1 hour at a meter without paying. The meters on 2nd Avenue are in effect until 10:00 PM. These vans are routinely parked in the afternoon and left overnight. Some days they do not move. They are routinely parked on a Friday afternoon and not moved until the following Monday. They do not move for street cleaning which happens Monday through Saturday on 2nd Avenue. How are the local businesses supposed to earn the tax money which funds Project Renewal if the meters do not turn over for cars to use? Traffic agents will not ticket these, even when the violation is pointed out to them.

On the day my son was born at Long Island College Hospital there were about a dozen cars with DOT permits parked on the sidewalk just outside the hospital. The cars blocked access to a small park.

The streets here are so narrow, and now some guy on "official" business is blocking the street further. The permit has a 3 hour limit, but judging by the windshield covered with snow, he has been here alot longer.
