"Is it a cargo van, an oversized van, a dump truck? Mail to Inspectors Pilecki/Chan - NYPD Traffic Enforcement waste of time. Owners scam system, passenger plate but vehicle is utilized for commercial use. This allows vehicles to be parked overnight and all day on weekends in residential areas. If vehicle has commercial plate it would be ticket after three hours parked, called storage and definitely a ticket for overnight from 9pm to 5pm. In addition, scamming insurance companies paying lower rate and not informing carrier it is for commercial use. Lower registration fee paid to NYSDMV and upper level of 59th Street Bridge prohibits commercial vehicles yet everyday traffic is backed up, what is supposed to be an easy quick ride over the upper level is no different than lower level with trucks, vans. Cargo vans and oversized vehicles such as Connect use upper level with passenger plate. When will NYPD Traffic Enforcement put an end to this. There is a trailer house on 65th Place/Garfield, then down two streets a massive boat attached to a car parked 24/7 365 days annually and vans, vans and more vans everywhere, ambulette, vehicles which state hazardous material. Nothing is done to stop this practice. Look at photos taken today at 7am, THREE parked together, complete disregard for residents. Last one has commercial plate." - Anonymous

There are plenty of these all over Flushing with no commercial of TLC plates. And they are being used to shuttle Asians to the casinos . WTF?!
Parking enforcement in our city is such a joke. One good thing with twitter is that we can start to document these violations and tweet the info to NYC311, the precinct and our electeds. They might not do anything, but they can no longer claim ignorance. I follow two guys on twitter who talk primarily about the lack of traffic and parking enforcement:
Placard Abuse ( https://twitter.com/placardabuse ) posts deal with illegal parking by NYPD, and other civic employees. At the end of the day, if NYPD rank and file cant be bothered to follow the law for themselves, don't be surprised that they don't enforce it on others.
D00rZ0ne https://twitter.com/d00rz0ne primarily deals with folks who double park in the bike lane - which obviously means bicyclists are going to have to swerve into traffic to keep going.
BTW you should check out the pinned tweet on Placard Abuse's page - a video of NYPD Traffic enforcement blatantly refusing to do their job (and they knew they were being videotaped).
Same deal on Queens Blvd and Calvary cemetery side. At least a dozen green taxi's and TLC black cars park interconnected to each other. Top it off with 3-4 graffitied box trucks - all parked all night and not a ticket on any of them to be found. 108 and city are more interested in the red light cameras east a west on 58th street and the speed camera near the Muslim school taking a picture of a license plate at 2am. Either 108 is blind or someone in a higher position there (or Jimmy V.) is directing his personnel to look the other way for the cab /black car all night parking.
If it has factory seats and windows in the back and is under 18,000 lbs gross weight its can be registered private passenger. You can abuse the system with a passenger insurance and registration, nobody checks.
Commercial parking for more than 3 hours generates a ticket? In which time-space continuum?
THIS SCENE CAN BE EASILY REPLICATED IN NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT QUEENS: JACKSON HEIGHTS, CORONA, WOODSIDE. IT IS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. CRIMINALS ARE VIOLATING OUR LAWS AND LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK...
Why can't normal-sized commercial vehicles park on the street, anyway?
And how in the world is the same city that is handing out parking tickets and moving violations for the slightest infractions ignoring these vast sources of revenue?
How is this not a money-making opportunity for the City? Tickets for everyone, right? Get on it boys!
Parking enforcement is a joke. Car on 64th Rd. sitting in exact same spot for over a week. Flat tire. Missing front plate. Rear plate from Maine which has been expired over a year. No window stickers (required in Maine as is front plate). Put in on 311 app. Answer comes back as "Officers sent to site determined no action required."
Really? An obviously illegal car
1. Expired tags.
2. Missing front plate.
3. Missing inspection sticker.
4. Parked in one place more than 3 days without moving.
and not one ticket issued. Did they even bother to come out?
the city permitted 2-2-building W.parking on either side of bldg. for three cars. they only park one car in the driveway & the rest on the street.& the rest in the front yd. ?
No side widows or seats gets you a ticket for imprpoer registration.
Improper registration is just a ticket now and then. A much better deal then paying a over $400 a month for a private space on the other side of town. As long as it has a passenger seat and 2 full rear windows minimum the cops leave you alone.
