This guy takes this truck home every night and parks it on the streets of Dyker Heights Brooklyn. Not only shouldn't he parking it on the street, but more than not it is parked illegally, like pictured here, about 4 feet from a fire hydrant. Other times it's parked in front of a church, a school, or in a no standing zone. But NEVER in front of HIS house. And why does he take it home? It is an educational vehicle, not something he would need to take to an emergency in the middle of the night.

Parked in a fire zone. Permit expired March 31st 2009, and what agency? I cannot find the name of an agency on the permit shown above.

"Official UFA Business" = breaking the law and endangering your life.

The perpetrator was parked illegally in front of a fire hydrant. he saw me taking photos and he tried to get my personal info to scare me telling me i wasn't allowed to take photos of his car and threatening to report me (for what i don't know). he knew he was doing something he shouldn't have and his reaction was indicative of this. this type of blatant disregard for parking rules by city employees is contributing to the congstion problem and the fact that parking police allow them to get away with it is making it worse.

7th pct is half a block as well as fire house this car blocks fire hydrant and neither PD or Traffic enforcement give it a summons.

Another firefighter using an invalid UFA placard to illegally block the fire zone, the bike lane, and the line of sight of the cars emerging from the nearby underground garage, resulting in cars driving blindly into the street.

The point of the fire zone is to give fire vehicles clearance . . . not create extra parking for private vehicles of firefighters. There are space on the north side of the street set aside for that. These vehicles, all parked with Uniformed firefighters' Association placards, are creating a serious hazard for bicyclists and motor vehicles by blocking the line of sight of traffic emerging from the Hertz garage.

"NO STANDING FIRE ZONE" was never meant to offer private parking for firefighters' personal vehicles. Yet this is how this area in Duane Street is used today. And even though it is just around the corner from City Hall, no one bothers to enforce the law. Some firefighters park on the sidewalk, others double park. In short - FDNY shows contempt for law.

This cop from the 94th Precinct repeatedly parks at this fire hydrant in front of an elementary school EVERY weekend. He doesn't move it for 2 days. I've called the local precinct (94th) and they said they have given him a ticket (false). I've gone to the local fire house and they haven't done anything either. I've called 311 and they keep telling me to contact the precint. Just because he is a cop doesn't give him the right!
