Common defenses
Inadequate or missing signage
The parking restriction was not communicated by a clearly visible, unobstructed sign or marking, so the violation cannot stand.
Driver was present and the vehicle was not "standing"
The vehicle was attended by a driver who was prepared to move it on request, so it was not "standing" or "parked" within the meaning of the rule.
Mistaken identity / wrong vehicle
The plate, vehicle description, or other identifying information on the ticket does not match the vehicle, so the citation cannot be enforced against this owner.
Incorrect time or date on ticket
The time or date recorded on the ticket cannot be reconciled with when the vehicle was actually at the location.
Defective ticket — missing or illegible required information
The ticket fails to record the information required by NYC Admin Code § 19-203, depriving the operator of fair notice.
