Coronavirus (COVID-19) Alert

In-person hearings for parking tickets and camera violations have resumed. However, in-person parking ticket and camera violation hearings for commercial vehicles remain suspended at this time.

The 30-day period to pay or dispute camera violations has resumed. If you do not take action within 30 days, a $25 penalty may be added to your violation.

No additional penalties have been added to any unpaid non-judgment parking ticket since March 22, 2020 and until further notice. Tickets that were in judgment prior to March 22, 2020, will continue to incur interest.

Any New Yorker under isolation who has received a ticket can request a hearing with the Department of Finance and should provide medical documentation or testimony, which will be taken into consideration when their case is reviewed.

If you own or operate a commercial vehicle and have 10 or more parking or camera violations, you can dispute them all at one time instead of having hearings for each ticket separately. You must dispute the violations with the Department of Finance's Commercial Adjudication Unit by mail or in person at their office.

To request a hearing by mail, you must include:

A letter explaining why you are fighting the violations
Copies of the tickets or Notices of Liability (NOL) or the ticket or NOL numbers
Copies of all available evidence

For an in-person hearing, you must schedule an appointment with the Commercial Adjudication Unit (CAU) by phone or by mail.

The hearing will take place at the CAU's office in Manhattan at 66 John Street, 3rd Floor.
