Descrição
MANYcars with parking permits have parked ILLEGALLY for years, Mon-Fri, at the same metered locations on lower Mott Street using a Court Officer and NYPD and Corrections parking permits. That's not a typo - this illegal parking has gone on for YEARS!!! Aside from the blight, NYC loses more than $50-million a year in parking meter revenue from government employee commuters abusing their parking permits - That's about a 1/2-BILLION dollars lost since Bloomberg's been in office. NYPD Traffic Enforcement (212) 233-0878) was contacted and the cars have been documented - please note this is EVERY working day. 'Can't run a city or a business like that. Councilmember Margaret Chin has walked by illegally parked cars all the time in Chinatown but she's more concerned right now with a double tax, the Business Improvement District and also getting tourists arrested for scoring knock-offs on Canal Street.

Downtowner,
Definitely not surprising! Government workers routinely park illegally, especially Downtown. The irony is that Court Officer permits are actually illegal for use on NYC streets.
There's a campaign to stop these abuses, and much progress has already been made -- check it out at http://uncivilservants.org

Despite notifying a Traffic Enforcement Supervisor AND an Integrity Control Officer - this vehicle with a Court Officer placard and many others continue to park on lower Mott Street.
NYC has lost about 1/2 BILLION dollars from parking meter abuse by government sector employees since Bloomberg's been in office. Do you think this money should be reimbursed out of their government worker pensions?

I understand your frustration! The good news is the City Council has a bill that will hopefully go a way to solving this issue. Expect a hearing in April. here are more details:

Mott Street, Chinatown, NYC - The Blue Honda is STILL PARKING ON A METER SPOT TODAY - 6-15-2011. Almost TWO YEARS ON A METER SPOT -
THIS COSTS THE CITY MANY, MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR - IT'S AWFUL FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THEIR CUSTOMERS - I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR COURT OFFICERS WHO ABUSE THEIR PERMITS - EVERYONE PAYS, I can't believe how selfish this parking permits abuse is!! Counciilmember Margaret Chin walks by these cars illegally parked with placards on meters EVERYDAY and has done nothing to stop this abuse.

You message tells us a lot about you:
1. The car in the picture above is probably your car, and you're embarrassed that you're exposed as an illegal parker, ripping off NYC. If it's not your car, then you are one of the thousands who parks illegally all the time, on everyone else's dime.
2. You don't care about ripping off NYC because you're not a New Yorker.
3. You just don't care.
4. Obviously, YOU are the one who needs to get a life, you're commenting here at 3:55 a.m. !!!

This abuse of parking permits/placards costs Us, We New Yorkers, 50-million a year in lost revenue. Parking placard abuse causes loss of quality of life and small businesses lose money because they can't get deliveries and lose customers who can't park.
The solution is to plant tracking chips in each placard so a scanner can detect who/where/when and how the placard is being used (or abused).
