Fire Hydrants are not Personal Parking Spaces
1597 Lexington Ave, Manhattan. Observed by ColorSopNYC on Wed, Sep 21 2011
This BMW is CONSTANTLY parked in front of our building, directly obstructing the fire hydrant on the avenue side. Not a one-time occurrence--she continually parks there, day and night--I watched her park there this morning. Sometimes blocks the whole hydrant altogether. Leaves the car unattended, probably all day, and into the evening. NOT OK.
NYPD Parked next to hydrant, doesn't move on off-side parking days
28th Avenue and Crescent St., Queens. Observed by Smyligerl on Thu, Sep 08 2011
This Jeep has been making it a habit to park in Astoria, Queens just two feet away from a fire hydrant near my building practically all week. He also doesn't move on off-side parking days, so the street cleaner has to move around him. The street cleaner told my husband that he won't get a ticket, but we can complain to 311. There's an NYPD Bronx placard in the window. Perhaps they feel entitled to park there. They apparently never get tickets for off-side parking violations or for parking within two feet of a hydrant. When I call 311 to file a complaint, the Jeep disappears and then returns within a few hours to the same spot. Flagrant abuse of the privilege of being on the NYPD force and blatantly inconsiderate of the safety fellow NYC residents.

Horace Harding Blvd and Junction Blvd, Queens. Observed by nunuvyabidnis on Thu, Jul 28 2011
NY's Finest have continually used the Horace Harding Expwy service road as well as Junction Blvd from 59th Ave up to 62nd Ave (No Standing Anytime)as their personal parking spaces while there are more than an adequate amount of metered parking and garages to accommodate the neighborhood's entire population

Unreformed Dirty Five-Two
decatur and 205th, Bronx. Observed by norwoodcitizen on Wed, Apr 13 2011
It doesn't look like getting rid of the Deputy Inspector troubles by multiple scandals did anything to improve the integrity of the dishonest cops in the Dirty Five-Two.
Why is it so hard to find a few honest cops in New York City? Other cities actually have law enforcement officers that enforce the law instead of breaking it all day every day in public!
[moderator's note: this NYPD Restricted permit has two license plate numbers written in, which is also a no-no]

Must be nice to not worry about finding a legal parking space, or have to get up early to move your car.
Just another blatant abuse by Nypd
Grand st and Mott st, Manhattan. Observed by Nypdabuse on Wed, Mar 30 2011
Witnessed this individual drive his suv into a no parking area in Chinatown and nonchalantly flips a blue plaque onto his dashboard and walks into a grocery store to shop. Upon closer examination the plaque is from the 28 precinct in Harlem, and is on the other end of Manhattan island. The plaque is not supposed to be used except for the 28 precinct area. Another blatant example of parking plaque abuse by Nypd.
Badge printed on placard say 869? - Not Bay Ridge, anyway!
Ridge Blvd and Ovington, Brooklyn. Observed by Buttle on Tue, Mar 22 2011
Sorry about the quality of the photos. Same location, same sign, as the last report, but different placard abuser.
