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?

Another pic of this car, illegally parked for OVER 1 1/2 YEARS!!!

This car is STILL parked undisturbed every working day on Mott Street -, I have recent photographs. Now it's been greater than 1 1/2 years. How can we citizens of NYC have any respect for this group of CITY EMPLOYEES who flaunts such flagrant parking permit abuse? This parking permit abuse is all done at great cost and expense to the City!!!! Over 1/2 BILLION dollars lost in the last ten years!! Where is our Councilmember Margaret Chin who should be looking into this personally?

New Yorker Who Cares:

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:

THIS ISSUE IS DEFINITELY NOT FIXED! THIS SAME CAR WITH A COURT OFFICER"S PLACARD STILL PARKS FOR FREE AT NYC's (and yours and mine) EXPENSE!! This has gone on now for at least 20 MONTHS!!! I'm waiting for Councilmember Margaret Chin to do something about this - Ms. Chin walks past this car every single working day of the year!!!

Court Officers still parking freely - costing all of New Yorkers many millions ($46-million a year) in lost parking meter revenue - Time to do something Mr. Bloomberg, Comm. Kelly!

Cars with placards illegally parked on metered spots on Mott Street, it's a ripoff to NYC to the tune of over $46-million a year!

Well, that Blue Honda has moved off of Mott Street, but associated other Court Officers, Corrections Officers, NYPD, District Attorney people still park illegally all over Mott Street every working day. It makes no difference if ONE car moves, presumably to another place where Traffic Enforcement Officers just walk by. Let's be clear - these government sector employees - Court Officers, NYPD, etc. - are parking ILLEGALLY - this is called a POSTED SIGN VIOLATION, and Traffic Enforcement officers are SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED BY THEIR SUPERVISORS TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY AND IGNORE POSTED SIGN VIOLATIONS THAT ARE COMMITTED THOUSANDS OF TIMES A DAY, costing NYC over $46-million a year in lost parking meter revenue.

Unfortunately Councilmember Margaret Chin is out busy trying to arrest tourists for buying knockoffs and is still doing nothing about the rampant parking permit abuse that she walks by every working day.

That Blue Honda is now gone but Court Officers still chronically park ILLEGALLY with permits on Mott Street, a POSTED SIGN VIOLATION that has occurred for YEARS, costing the NYC many millions of dollars annually. Councilmember Margaret Chin walks by these cars everyday and yet does nothing to deter these government commuter cars from causing loss of businesses in Chinatown. How can you respect a law officer who breaks the law or a councilmember who lets this happen for years???

Illegally parking with placards, a Posted Sign Violation, is unfortunately common on Mott Street where there are metered spots. NYC losses so much money because of this - $50-million a year. How can we respect officers who flagrantly defy regulation at NYC's expense? Photo taken 6/14/2011, and it looks the same every working da.

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.

Court Officers, Corrections Officers, NYPD, District Attorney people still park illegally all over Mott Street every working day. It makes no difference if ONE car moves, presumably to another place where Traffic Enforcement Officers just walk by.

This is NOT resolved and government worker commuters continue to park ILLEGALLY with their placards on Mott Street. Our Councilmember Margaret Chin has really turned a blind eye for years on this issue which is bad for business and quality of life on Mott Street, Bayard Street and all over Chinatown!!

This is NOT resolved - cars illegally parking in the heart of Chinatown - causing regular loss of business - occurs every working day. Councilmember Margaret Chin has done virtually nothing in past years and this chronic blight on Chinatown continues under her watch.

A 1/2-BILLION dollars lost parking meter revenue since Bloomberg's been in office. NYPD Traffic Enforcement (212) 233-0878) was contacted and the cars have been documented on Mott Street- 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 regressive double tax, the Business Improvement District.

llegally parking with placards, a Posted Sign Violation, is unfortunately common on Mott Street where there are metered spots. NYC losses so much money because of this - $50-million a year. How can we respect officers who flagrantly defy regulation at NYC's expense? Photo taken 6/14/2011, and it looks the same every working day. This is in Councilmember Margaret Chin's district and she has done virtually nothing to help small businesses and her community with this chronic issue.

A 1/2-BILLION DOLLARS of lost parking meter revenue since Bloomberg's been in office. Need we say more? Yes, we do need to say more. Aside from the lost revenue, this parking placard abuse hurts small businesses greatly and local residents cannot even use parking spaces in their own neighborhood!!!

We need more signs like this one!!!

This is definitely not fixed. Where is Councilmember Margaret Chin??? This is a blight on Chinatown and it's disrepectful to the community!!

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.

That car STILL parks all day all the time with impunity. It's a disgrace and people like this cost taxpayers in NYC 50 million a year. Really, where is Councilmember Margaret Chin?!

Don't you have anything else to worry about other than who is parking where? Get a life!!!!

To: downtown worker

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. !!!

Look, these people are Commuters, using public parking spaces to Commute to Work and have the community and everyone in NYC pay for it! Stop turning a blind eye NYC, it's costing us 50-million a year in lost meter parking revenue alone!!!

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).

Other than the issue of the likely high expense of implementing tracking chip placard implants, how long do you think it would take for the owners to remove every single one of those trackers from the placards and set things right back to square one? I'm not disagreeing that this abuse of parking privileges is despicable, but that never stopped people in the public sector before and I'm guessing it won't now either.

To Looking Around, you are way off mark, this tracking chip would Not be expensive, NYC is already losing 50 million dollars a year because of permit abuse. As far as removing or tampering, it's not easy, do you think you could remove or tamper with the chip in your bank card?

Excellent point. Perhaps there there may be some hope to accomplish this after all. Best of luck.

The local police precinct posted flyers on all the cars with placards in Chinatown stating that they were illegally parked, and, that they had " final notice " last week. 'Can't tell you how good it feels to see those illegal parkers gone!! Yay!!

Congratulations on a job well done.

Tx, Looking Around, but let's see if this placard-free situation remains permanent!

This is the http://windowstuts.net/default-search-engine which tells how to change the default search engine in micro soft edge andd make the settings in micro soft edge and get the things going through change the default search engine in windows 10

At this time, after more than 15 years of abuse and NYC losing Many 100s of millions of dollars from lost parking meter revenue, the Existing laws are being enforced. Let's hope NYC does not start losing money again from parking placard abuse.

In Chinatown NYC, illegal placard parking costs the CITY money, the neighborhood businesses suffer, and these are government employees.... it's very disrespectful to the community and selfish.
