Parked illegally, and almost certainly committing insurance fraud too -- this truck has been parked outside the post office here every day for years with North Carolina plates. Oh, and they parked this truck on the sidewalk too!

Again, this person is parked illegally with somebody elses's placard.

This USPS employee is fraudulently using another employee's placard to park illegally, this time in a No Parking Anytime zone. At other times, she uses it to park on the sidewalk.

Main_post_10674 Ribbon_invalid

Not only does the USPS employee park on the sidewalk, but she is using somebody else's placard.

In general, the workers at this post office (Peter Stuyvesant Station) break the law daily with their cars -- parking on sidewalks, double parking, parking in No Parking Anytime zones, and, apparently, providing copies of USPS placards to local residents to enable more illegal parking.

Oh, and customer service at this post office is terrible.

mismatch in license plate. this is a chronic problem with this car in this location. since 311 calls are ineffective, the next step will be to call the USPS Office of Inspector General.

Private Garage Too Expensive for Slope 'n Surf Audi Owner

West 83rd St. at Amsterdam, Manhattan. Observed by BicyclesOnly on Mon, Jan 07 2008

Main_post_5849 Ribbon_invalid

This USPS employee apparently has no problem affording an Audi, a house in the Hamptons, and ski trips (judging from the ski box on the roof). But when it comes to parking, the owner shuns the for-pay garage across from the post office and parks illegally in a "No Standing Anytme" zone.

Parked on the sidewalk

433 East 13th st, Manhattan. Observed by lawandorder on Sat, Dec 15 2007

Main_post_5685 Ribbon_hazard

Pretty common with this post office. They often park on the sidewalk and double-park.

I suspect that this guy is also committing insurance fraud because he's had the same South Carolina plates for over a year. His older Cadillac also had South Carolina plates for several years. Something tells me he's not commuting from the The Palmetto State every day.

I filed a 311 ticket.

Bogus and Brazen

Here's another reason why the FDNY should not park on the sidewalk next to this school . . . it provides cover for frauds like this guy with NYPD parking enforcement, who apparently believe that anyone brazen enough to park on the curb here must be too important a public employee to ticket.

Let's see, how many laws can this guy break? He's got a fraudulent permit, he's on the sidewalk, and he's straddling a "No Standing-Fire Zone" and "No Standing 7-4 pm School Zone," at 3:30 pm.

And here's another picture of this repeat offender on the same block:

http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/864

How long will it take for LE, FDNY, and all the other detractors of this site to recognize that the present system--in which anyone with a scrap of paper on their dash gets to do whatever they want with their car--has to be changed?


Sweet Home Alabama

Main_post_1949 Ribbon_invalid

What's with the Alabama plates and a USPS Planetarium Station placard in this No Standing Anytime zone? I think this guy may have overstayed his welcome in the big apple as he was issued a $180 parking ticket more than 2 months ago in the Bronx, according to the DOF. Why is NYPD parking enforcement letting this guy park illegally for free when there is pay lot across the street?

Admin, "AL" needs to be included in the pull-down list of states for inputting plate info on posts.

Another postal worker using an invalid permit to park in the "No Standing Anytime" zone, while the placard-less chumps who live in this neighborhood have to pay $20/day to park in the garage or risk getting a ticket from parking enforcement, who inexplicably fail to ticket the postal employees.

Why is NYPD parking enforcement giving these postal workers a free ride on us?

Pennsylvania Postal Worker?

Main_post_1941 Ribbon_invalid

This post contains,, int he non-public second and third phtotos, the information for the blue Isuzu SUV in the middle. Why should this guy with PA plates get to park in the "No Standing Anytime" zone just because he (might) work at the post office down the block? Would this guy choose to drive from Pa. if he had to pay to park like the people in this neighborhood? Or maybe he lives in the neighborhood, and fraudulently registers his car in Pa. to save on insurance?

Also, the permit bears the handwritten number "72"--that's a pretty large number of permits to be issued by a neighborhood post office.

The postal employees at Planetarium Station treat this stretch of "No Standing Anytime" curbside parking as their own personal parking lot. There were a number of placard-less cars on the block with tickets when I came by--why are parking enforcemt personnel honoring these placards and subsidizing USPS at the expense of the city, the community, and the owner of the pay lot right across the street?

This post contains, in the second and third non-public pictures, the info for the black Acura in the foreground.


"Official Business"?

No control number or expiration date on this permit. Apparently can't even fool traffic enforcement (at least not all the time); this guy has an unpaid $125 ticket for parking in this no standing zone last month.


Is this permit 2 years post expiry or 6 years post expiry?

Looks like it was altered. Whichever it is, its expired. It's also invalid in this no standing anytime zone, even if it were current. And what's with the North Carolina plates? Can you say insurance fraud?

Drives in from Jersey to work in a Post Office on the Upper West Side and parks on the sidewalk? Bad manners. Oh, and by the way, he's got $330 in unpaid tickets, including parking in front of a fire hydrant right here on this block.
