What building is this?

Seriously! The most important piece of information has been left out.

Having said that, this wouldn’t be the first time a PEO incorrectly tickets a slew of cars for misunderstood (or, made up) regulations. It’s frustrating and annoying, and getting the tickets dismissed could be hit or miss. In this city, on any given day, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cars parked illegally, or plainly and obviously violating some sort of parking regulation, but those are seldom ticketed. Cars blocking crosswalks, cars blocking bike lanes, cars too close to intersections, cars without parking permits in zoned areas, cars with expired parking permits, etc, are super common and yet those are seldom enforced.

I would be surprised if these officers dont have a quota they need to hit.

But, even if that was the case, the fact remains that ticketing cars in JC for VALID parking violations is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. You can't walk a half mile in this town without seeing crazy shit like people parked at crosswalks, or blocking hydrants, or blocking bike lanes, or way too close to the intersections, etc. Ticketing cars for questionable or made up violations seems like such a weird and inefficient way to meet a quota, but what do I know?

So, 77 Hudson, and you are referring to the "NO PARKING ANY TIME - Except vehicles loading and unloading" signs. I would say you could/should fight it, but do understand there is a 50/50 chance it doesn't get dismissed. If that happens, you could be assessed court fees on top of the fine, so you have to consider that. Potential upside, you can fight the ticket via the new online dispute system that doesn't require you show up for court at all. You enter the information, plead not guilty, present your facts, and wait for someone to evaluate and decide. I successfully a fought a similar ticket a few months back. I parked outside my building to unload some groceries and by the time I came back 10-15 minutes later (I got delayed warming up lunch for my kid) I had gotten a ticket. Much to my surprise, the judge was sympathetic and dismissed my ticket via the online dispute system.

Don't those buildings all have garages? Why would residents with cars need to unload on the street?
