i’ve submitted a few dozen reports (UWS, 80’s) in the last 18 months—mostly for placard abuse or expired paper plates and (literally) more than half were closed with “we investigated and there was nothing to do” within minutes of hitting submit. zero chance anyone did anything except click “close”.
it’s plackard abuse it’s nypd looking out for personal cop vehicles it’s paper plate cockiness it’s increasingly construction overstepping their permit limits* it’s construction jobs reserving spots for workers via fake “no parking” crap
I submit my reports with my google voice number and a throwaway email. I’ve heard too many stories about crank calls and threatening contact to be that stupid.
the feeling of helplessness is real.
*NYCDOT actually took the time to write a real signed letter to say “we really want to help, but enforcement belongs to the nypd”. NYPD spit on the ground and said “bullshit. NYCDOT’s problem”. yeah.

This happened to me multiple times. I do believe that a lot of these “abandoned cars” belong to police officers or family or friends of officers. The excuses they gave were just like this and they were closed within minutes to an hour or two. You can’t get a cop to respond to a 911 call in that amount of time, so obviously something fishy was going on.

Are you adjacent to the precinct on 82 by chance? The cops seems like they (ab)use those streets pretty much how they see fit with no regard for the public.
