I do not see why you have a picture of my car on this website when clearly nothing was in violation of the law

#1 - You parked in front of a driveway. That's illegal, as noted in the original post.

The driveway is hard to see (shows up better on 2nd pic w/license plate, not public), and people could still get in or out (on Sat. it's closed to the public, but not to monthly parkers).

But still, it's a no standing area. It's a definite ticket.

In other news, my wife had long thought that any curb cut -- even one that couldn't be used any more because of a fence, building, etc. -- was still no standing. Good to know that the rules are slightly more sensible than that.

you can clearly see the black van across the street blocking the drive ways good job..

Great, you've got the address, you can go take that picture.

MODERATOR: PLEASE FIX THIS POST, the sign in question is "No Standing NYSJ Mon-Fri 7 am to 7 pm. There is no violation here regarding the signage as one would be led to believe.

The lot has access on the weekends? I guess you have a key, this is locked in this photo. As you stated in your post, "The prohibition herein shall not apply to driveways that have been rendered unusable due to the presence of a building or other fixed obstruction and, therefore, are not being used as defined in section 4-01(b) of these rules." I have a feeling a locked gate may be considered a fixed obstruction.

Fraudulent permit? If i throw a pizza box in the widow of my car and park it near the local pizzaria. Dollars to donuts (no pun intended) I wouldnt get a summons.
Would you consider this illegal/fraudulent permit?

I can believe on a beautiful Saturday afternoon you have nothing better to do than to walk around downtown Brooklyn taking pictures of cars and looking for a confrontation.

You wouldnt be j_on_state street would you?

1. It's "invalid permit" not "fraudulent permit." It looked to me like an attempt to use that permit as a permit (not a "pizza box") to avoid getting a ticket for parking in a curb cut.

2. The violation is parking at a curb cut to a parking lot, not the signage. The gate opens and shuts, and is not an obstruction. And, as I pointed out, monthly parkers can enter and exit on the weekends. We don't have an option for "curb cut," so I picked something close -- the NYC Parking Rules (which I quoted) say that a curb cut is a no standing area.

3. I agree it's not one of the more egregious abuses I've seen; it's very unlikely we'll do any follow up on it. It's easy to miss the curb cut or assume the lot is completely closed, as I pointed out earlier in a comment. I happened to be walking by, and found three in a row, and thought I'd take some quick pictures. I also thought it would be fun to hear the back story on the permit, which is one of the more bogus ones I've seen.

Salguod... his parking might not be legal, but that permit would be valid only in the youth center's lot, if there is one

stupid is as stupid does

Any permit abuse that would result in a summons for a non permit user is fair game. If it's done to civillians, your claiming to be a hero is not a valid defense for permit abuse.

The 61 is Coney Island, no?

61 is Sheepshead Bay. Coney is 60.
