New Year… More New Laws
Once in a while it happens, a law that many people may actually like. It could even make life easier for residents and citizens.
One of the most onerous things about driving in the city is having to pay the cost to park. The cost of street parking has increased more than 100% in the last two years. Now your legislators thought you should have a way to fight back when the meter, or the infamous pay box, malfunctions.
(b) If for any reason the parking meter serving a space or, in a centralized parking meter system, serving a parking meter zone is malfunctioning due to the accumulation of ice or snow and it has been reported to the local authorities as malfunctioning prior to a violation for the standing or parking of vehicles being issued, it shall be a valid affirmative defense to such violation until such time as the parking meter is brought back into service. Did you notice the limited use of this one?
