FDNY Parks on Sidewalk -- Save you from burning house, but run you over on sidewalk?
Observed by jooltman on Thu, Oct 29 2009
This one just has a union permit. Is that even a legal dash permit?
The employees of Fire Squad Co. 1 often park on the sidewalk near the fire house. This is ironic because a) there is a half block of reserved street parking for their private vehicles directly across from the fire house b) there is a public parking garage next door in case the free spots are taken and c) by parking (and driving!) on the sidewalk, they endanger the very citizens they are sworn to protect. Cars coming in and out of the garage can't see pedestrians because of personal FDNY cars on sidewalk. Ridiculous! 9/29/09 9:30 a.m.

Nope, definitely not. Union permits have no legal standing on NYC streets. They do have unofficial power, of course, but this is changing.

For your information Law. Nothing is changing. To bad they parked on the sidewalk. They are not going to park in a parking garage. Get used to it. A permit is a permit regardless of what you say. Do you see a ticket on the cars? No you don't. I wonder why.
