Extending the grace period for parking violations after a change in parking restrictions.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code, in relation to extending the grace period for parking violations after a change in parking restrictions

This bill would extend the grace period for parking violations after a change in parking restrictions in New York City in two ways. It would extend the affirmative defense period after notice of a change in parking restrictions from five days to fifteen days, and additionally require that no vehicle may be towed as a result of a violation of a new parking restriction for a period of thirty days after posting notice of the change unless towing the vehicle is determined to be necessary for public safety.
