Bill > A07227

This bill amends the administrative code of New York City by modifying the conditions under which a vehicle can be removed and impounded due to unpaid parking tickets. Currently, a vehicle could be removed if the owner had more than three outstanding parking violation judgments or if the total amount of those judgments exceeded $350. The new legislation increases the threshold to $550 and introduces a formal definition of a "scofflaw" for parking violations. Specifically, a vehicle owner will now be considered a scofflaw if they have more than three outstanding parking violation judgments or if the total amount of those judgments, including interest, exceeds $550. The bill maintains existing provisions that allow vehicle removal for illegal parking, stopping, or standing, and is designed to provide some relief to vehicle owners with multiple parking tickets by raising the monetary and numerical thresholds that trigger vehicle impoundment. The changes will take effect immediately upon enactment.
