Is the NYPD Mishandling Illegal Parking Complaints?

police car 2846867

by Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC 30 Nov2021

A new investigation by Streetsblog asks whether the New York Police Department responded to as many 311 complaints regarding blocked bike lanes as it claimed to. According to the report, the NYPD said it issued “more than 100 tickets last year” over such complaints, but an analysis of city-provided data “contain no record of nearly one-fifth of those summonses.”

When Streetsblog attempted to identify tickets connected to 109 bike lane complaints, it was unable to locate 21, or 19%. As it notes, however, the “the number of missing tickets could be even higher,” because its search depended on “broad criteria” that included all summonses issued within “the same time-frame as the 311 complaint… within two blocks of the blocked bike lane,” meaning that even summonses included in its analysis may not actually have been connected to the blocked bike lane complaints.

Meanwhile, the developer of an app that lets New Yorkers file 311 reports conducted his own analysis that found the NYPD may have issued even fewer tickets than Streetsblog’s analysis suggests. The app, Reported, lets users send the city 311 complaints about blocked park lanes and other parking violations. Its users reportedly “submitted 5,400 such complaints to the NYPD last year,” with the app’s creator telling Streetsblog that the NYPD claimed it issued summonses connected to 24 such complaints. Because the app’s data includes license plate numbers for the vehicles at issue in users’ complains, the creator was able to search city data for the license plates of the 24 vehicles purportedly issued summons. What he ultimately found was that only 11 of those vehicles were ticketed. 

According to Streetsblog, “false responses to 311 complaints could… violate NYPD rules” and lead to investigations by New York CIty’s Civilian Complaint Review Board, especially if the NYPD over-reports summonses issued in other types of complaints. As one City Council member told Streetsblog, “If there is record falsification, that’s very serious.” Another City Council member agreed: “When citizens take the time to make a complaint, they should get an honest answer… if they’re not getting honest answers, my committee needs to know about it.” The NYPD told Streetsblog through a spokesperson that it was reviewing its data.

More information on the analysis of NYPD illegal parking complaints is available via Streetsblog.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

" Last year I was injured in an accident, and for the first time, needed the advice of an attorney regarding how to proceed. I was referred to Thomas Gallivan through a family member who is a lawyer in Massachusetts. I am beyond pleased with how Thomas handled my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and although the case was not as straightforward as some, he used every resource to ensure a positive outcome. Thomas communicated with me regularly and I felt completely informed and confident in his ability. He expertly negotiated a fair settlement that I was very happy with. The entire experience was extremely positive, during a stressful time for me. Thank you Thomas. "

" Attorney Thomas Gallivan is a wonderful attorney!! I particularly liked his professionalism, consistency, always kept us updated on the case, and available upon request. He worked extremely hard and was persistent on getting the best settlement in a timely matter. I truly appreciated his prompt responsiveness to emails and phone calls. The office staff was very pleasant and made sure to get messages to him asap. Glad we chose this law firm, would highly recommend and in the event that we ever need an attorney again, Gallivan & Gallivan would be my primary choice. "

" I was a passenger on a motorcycle and ended up falling off the back of the bike due to the driver acting like an idiot. I fell off at a high rate of speed and was very banged up. Fractured wrist and road rash down my back and elbows. I am lucky I didnt die. Not knowing what to do I contacted Thomas and he could not have been anymore helpful!! He went out of his way to meet with me. He actually came to my house for the initial consultation. I know nothing about law or what my options even were. He took me through everything step by step.
