Downtown Brooklyn’s persistent problem with illegal parking was spotlighted in a NYC Council study released on Monday, revealing that the scourge is rampant throughout the commercial and residential neighborhood, with many offending vehicles displaying real and fake parking placards.
The report, conducted by Brooklyn City Council Member Lincoln Restler, analyzed thousands of parking instances over a month from May 26 to June 20, exposing widespread disregard for existing parking regulations. The study surveyed 60 blocks to determine the frequency and extent of illegal parking.
