Park East Placard Abuse Continues.

68th street between Lexington and 3rd Ave, Manhattan. Observed by Dick Tracy on Mon, Feb 01 2010

Main_post_17353 Ribbon_invalid

The placard abuse continues at Park East Synagogue by the same individual with the same Cadillac with the obvious blessing of Inspector Murtagh and his gang of 19th precinct placard abusers. http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/11544

Here we see the Cadillac parked in the NO PARKING 7AM - 7 PM zone on the North side of East 68th Street between Lexington and 3rd Avenues using a bogus placard un-ticketed and untowed.

What does it take to finally deal with this individual?

As it stands in this area the only thing restrictive parking signs do is prevent local area residents from having some much needed curbside parking in their neighborhood while at the same time reserving spots for scofflaws.

The Park east abuse went so far as to embarrass Mayor Bloomberg in a story in the NY Post yet it continues in different forms to this day. Seems to me no surprise this kind of crap goes on around here as we have a police precinct commanded by someone who encourages his own people to violate placard parking rules themselves.

What community good is this serving and what quality of life benefit do residents get from this kind of illegal nonsense right next store to a police precinct I ask?

All such abused restricted parking areas which end up full of scofflaw vehicles due to lack of enforcement should be returned to the community as normal street parking and make an end to it. In every area that was done the problem was solved.

Private Parking Spot ? (again)

West 104th and Riverside Dr., Manhattan. Observed by citizen on Thu, Dec 03 2009

Main_post_16765

He's still there! This guy has an exclusive private parking spot that he (and only he) gets to use anytime! I guess NYC has a private parking policy for the elite. It's in a NO PARKING/NO PARKING ANYTIME space but it seems to be OK. Never a ticket on this car. It has EMT plates and that about does the trick.

ALSO, no need to move for alternate-side of the street cleaning either. He ignores that completely while everybody else has to move their cars, but again, I guess the rules don't apply to EMT's parking in front of their houses.


Private parking spot ?

Main_post_16568

I guess all you need to do is to put a EMT jacket in your rear window and file for a EMT license plate to have a guaranteed private parking spot. This guy has done it for over a year now and has the greatest deal of the century.

This car parks here every evening in a clearly labeled "No Parking Anytime" zone and apparently never receives a ticket. He doesn't even move the car for alternate side of the street street cleaning while the rest of us are moving our cars around the block and waiting for hours to park again. The one time I asked a local 24th precinct cop about it he said that there was nothing he could do.

Mazie Mazda:The Fox 5 Cretan NYP Placard Abuser

68th street and Lexington Avenue, Manhattan. Observed by Dick Tracy on Tue, Jul 07 2009

Main_post_13699

Behold Mazie Mazda who drives in everyday from home to NYC where she has a wonderful free parking spot to park for free all day. She is not covering a news assignment at the location of said assignment in her reserved parking spot a privilege a local resident pays over $7000.00 a year for.

Mazie is joined by fellow FOX 5 employee Cretans enjoying their free all-day parking spot at resident expense. They are like cockroaches infesting you home. You spray them and they go to your neighbor. These un-enforced placard abusers are never ticketed and the signage is meaningless depriving local area residents curbside parking while they enjoy the free perk the taxpayers provide.

No amount of congestion pricing would discourage someone from driving in knowing they had a free reserved parking spot where they worked.

Mazie can be often seen on this block or in the general area in similar restricted parking areas with her fellow FOX 5 cretans parking all day and spending at most 30 seconds looking for a spot while residents are excluded in their own neighborhood from this curbside parking.

This is utter insanity. Press placards are only valid for three hours in a red signed press zone or at the scene of an assignment. They are not all day free parking permits to be used near the studio.

Big SUV parked in no standing zone, to close to hydrant. The permit in the window did not match the lic.plate on the SUV. This spot is a favorite spot for NYPD to park and see the movies at the place around the corner. Once again there where open legal spots to park on the block, but hey they would get a ticket,right? Also, what is with the overly tinted windows that seem very popular with the NYPD officers that break the rules?

Van abusing parking permit again prevents the street cleaner from cleaning this area of the street. The driver continues to flaunt the law by parking overnight and well into morning. As you can see from today's picture, the driver parks directly under the 'no parking anytime' sign. How do we stop this blatant abuse of authority? This person lives there, and is not there on 'official business'.

Not sure that this corrections officers permit is good for anything other than a parking pass for the east -west wing of the staten island complex. That is what it looked like. But the "corrections" officer felt it was good enough to park right in front of 1 of 2 hydrants on the block. Great example of CPR.

It's getting tough out there for abuser of parking placards! Now off-duty NYPD have to compete with other city agencies to find a nice convenient hydrant.

This car and the Prius in the next violation were parked together at the hydrant. Both had placards, of course... You can imagine my surprise.

Not sure if I got the placard number right (my photo turned out to be a bit blurry) but the license plate is correct and matches the placard.

2 ladies with State Police permit go to literature class at 92Y Tribeca

24 Vestry Street, Manhattan. Observed by IamEntitled on Mon, Jan 12 2009

Main_post_11172 Ribbon_invalid

After reading today's New York Post article on permit abuse, I returned to this site after several months. I watched two ladies of a certain age (one in a nice fur coat) get out of a Subaru on Vestry Street, and walk in around the corner to the 92Y Tribeca. I did a little detective work of my own: they checked in for a 1 pm literature class, and got comfy in the cafe with cups of tea while waiting. This sort of abuse is mind-numbing and Governor Paterson ought to crack down on his Judicial Branch permits the same way that Mayor Bloomberg has on the NYPD. Going to a literature class with a NYS Judicial Branch permit just isn't kosher in 2009—especially if you are a judge and your job is to uphold the law!

There's always lots of illegal parking in front of the Boys Club of New York in the East Village -- parking in No Parking Anytime zones, in bike lanes, in front of hydrants, double parking and idling, not to mention insurance fraud! Most drivers have "Official Boys Club" permits, which have no legal standing. This person had a Boys Club permit and a DOC Rikers Island placard, also not usable here. NYPD is complicit in this illegality and does nothing despite repeated 311 calls.
