BILL NUMBER:A9133

Title of bill

An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to erroneously issued parking violation summons

Purpose or general idea of bill

The purpose of this bill is to hold the City of New York accountable for erroneously issued parking violation summons by compensating motorists or vehicle owners when justified.

Summary of provisions

This bill will amend Section 19-207 of the administrative code of the City of New York by adding a new subdivision c to require a one hundred dollar payment to a motorist or vehicle owner when a hearing officer determines that a parking violation summons was erroneously issued due to no fault of the person receiving such summons and is dismissed

Justification

According to the Mayor's Management Report (MMR), published annually by the Mayor's Office of Operations (MOO), which provides descriptive statistics about parking fine-related activities, in FY 2008 14.7% of all issued parking violations were dismissed and 17.1% of parking ticket appeals granted reversal. Residents should not have to take off from work, take pictures, keep records and defend themselves repeatedly against erroneously issued parking violations without being compensated.
