On: Single Fire Hydrant Nets NYC $33,000 a Year

[pm2222]

"Annualized", got it. Thought it has to be two hundred a ticket at the minimum to net that much of revenue a year.

It’s $115/ticket according to https://www.nyc.gov/site/finance/vehicles/services-violation... (look up code 40).

And are these tickets issued or tickets actually paid? I can imagine a lot of people just toss the ticket and hope for the best.

If you fail to pay the ticket they can

-block you from renewing vehicle registration (if registered in NY, not sure about other states)

-incapacitate your vehicle with a boot

-tow your vehicle

The only time you could maybe get away with tossing the ticket is if you visit NY from another state in a non rental vehicle and do not plan to return. This is going to be a low percentage of vehicles.
