Private SUV parked parked at a hydrant in the West Village on a Saturday night. It's been there at least an hour an half. No doubt on official business at the clubs in the neighborhood!

[Moderator edit: removed language stating that this is a fake permit. This permit is not fake, as it appears to be the new 2010 NYPD Restricted placard]

Red Nissan 4-door Sentra GXE sedan blocks almost the entire crosswalk.

makin a mess.

For 2 months now I have filed numerous complaints.Went to 47pct and let them know of the ILLEGAL parking and still the same outcome PARKED AT THE PUMP basically WHO CARES and what are you gonna do about it?FISH AV AND HICKS ST IN THE BRONX.

This vehicle is parked everyday on a pump on Fish ave in the Bronx.Right on the corner of Fish and Hicks ave.Calles 311 numerous times and all responses were vehicle was not on location everytime .PD was deployed after 8 hours each time so maybe the person moves by then?

This vehicle has been without a front license plate for at least 10 months. Anonymous letters to the captain of the precinct as well as NYPD Headquarters have not made a difference. The windows on this vehicle are so darkly tinted that I can not read the permit number.

This vehicle is sometimes parked in the area designated for Police Vehicles.
Why no front license plate?????
Isn't this illegal? How about the tinted windows???

Nothing stops the City of New York from it's daily operations--not even a holiday like Easter Sunday. This official vehicle was seen driving around Ridge Blvd and Third Avenue in Brooklyn on a Sunday until it found parking in a residential neighborhood where it remained the rest of the day.

Repeat violator. This guy saves parking spots for his little Nissan with this Official Vehicle. Not only that, but it's been spotted taking up two parking spots in between two driveways at 92nd street and Ridge Blvd...He's been doing it for years!

I guess a NYPD permit from a Harlem precinct allows one to park indefintely in Soho, and flaunt alternate side restrictions. Even the street sweeper had to go make way for the holder of the "special permit".
Mind you the nearest precinct is several, several blocks and away and what "police activity" could be taking 24hrs and counting (time the car's been parked there)

because I don't think laws should apply to me.

And I don't care about my neighborhood either.

Here's a private auto from the 48th Precinct blocking a hydrant in the 28th Precinct. Nice work.

Thanks to this guy, DSNY could not properly clean Avenue A, which sorely needed it. Please note the wet track from the street cleaner behind and around the car, and the garbage under the car that could not be cleaned up.

This car was parked on Sunday 11/25 about four feet from a hydrant at 310 W 116th Street. Is parking in front of a hydrant EVER legal?

City van parked on 92 Street between 3 Avenue and Ridge Boulevard, outside drivers residence holding a spot for his private vehicle only later to move the city van under a No Standing Anytime sign.

DSNY officer looked at placard, and did not ticket or place a sticker on the window. Of course who knows if this guy is really a cop, since his invalid permit has no plate number. This guy's placard is invalid for use here anyway, as it's a Restricted permit for the 42nd Pct, which is in the Bronx, not the East Village.

He's a real winner:

Oh, and the one parking ticket he received is still past due. He was parked in a bus stop in Jackson Heights. Some courtesy!

Permits are not valid within 15 feet of a hydrant.

And the precinct number is blacked out on the permit.

This guy was illegally parked during street cleaning. A DSNY officer declined to ticket the car.

To all appearances, this is where the NYPD personnel assigned to the 23rd dump the garbage left from meals in their cars--in a little cordoned-off spot on the street. The sign partially shown says "RMP's only," so there's no reason to speculate about where the garbage comes from. Luckily for the pigeons (and the rats at night), the pens prevents the street cleaners from removing the feast. I suspect the residents on this block have gotten the not-so-subtle message that this practice sends about NYPD's view of the community.

I'm calling this a safety hazard for the vermin attracted.

These pictures were taken in the Bronx. As I was going to move my car parked on University Avenue between W183rd Street and W Fordham Road the ticket officer just skipped this car and went straight to mine. The sign posted was for Street Cleaning starting at 11:30AM for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I confronted the ticket officer about this car, her name T.E. Walker (will get her badge number when I come back and edit this posting), and she told me "Don't you see the PBA cards?) At which point I answered her back that the car was parked illegally even so and that there was no official fire business taking place and mentioned that I would post these photos on this site. She then told me that the car would be ticketed later and she sped off. The car was never ticketed and she never even bothered to research whether this was a legal permit.

The holographic seal is a nice touch, but this is obviously a bogus placard. It reads "Fire Department--City of New York" across the top, but is not issued by the Fire Department or any other City agency. Rather, it is issued by a union of EMT's and paramedics with offices in Long Island City and states that the placard holder is on "Official U.E.P. Business," not city business. In any event, it is long expired. The guy was parked during alt side and the street could not be cleaned. I have no general problem with unions, but this is ridiculous--a union is no different than a private business or individual when it comes to illegal parking--even if it is a union of civil servants.
