how to get your parking tickets reduced
« on: July 29, 2011, 12:56:44 PM »
had a mix up with paying a parking ticket online and called 311 to straighten it out. she told me to log in to nyc.gov/finance>dispute parking ticket. after i entered my violation number it automatically reduced the fine from $45 (it was a 35 with a 10 late fine) to $26. Just for asking! She said it wont work on some violations like blocking a hydrant or walkway, but always for meter fines. Pretty cool, huh?

It had nothing to do with calling them...certain violations are automatically reduced if you agree to pay them.
http://www.nytix.com/Parking/articles/ticketstrategies.html

"Depending on the severity of the violation, there are only certain parking tickets that can get an automatic reduced offer. Simple violations like parking in a No Standing zone or an expired meter can get you an automatic reduced offer. You cannot get a discount for a violation like blocking an intersection. Some vehicles may also not qualify for a discount: cars with commercial plates, tow trucks, tracker trucks or semis, and delivery trucks.

By accepting the discount, the driver waves the right to appeal the ticket in the future. "

Reduced fines online ends Jan, 31st. Another blow to us NYC drivers. Looks like NYC needs to raise more funds...  basically a hidden tax.

That's when you just move out, like our NJ neighbors have been doing to avoid the excessive taxes.

Avoid the excessive taxes? Ever seen property taxes in NJ compared to NY?

Is anyone aware of what constitutes a defective parking ticket?
I received a ticket where the vin was properly listed and the plate was not. This was in NYC Thanks

I've had countless tickets dismissed on defective grounds for both myself and others.

According to the law I've used in my arguments, you're in luck: that should qualify as a dismissable defect.

Request a hearing online. If the ticket is eligible for settlement, it'll tell you at that point.
