Not Philly, but I got one in SF that was pretty unreasonable.
I was parked in my neighborhood and had a valid residential permit that only required that I move my car for street sweeping. So when I parked on Wednesday, there was no sign that said I needed to move my car before the next Tuesday. On Friday evening (I know, because I checked my car on Thursday evening), someone who was moving posted a temporary permit they'd applied for their moving truck to park outside their apartment. I received a ticket on Saturday morning despite the requirement that the temporary permit be posted 72 hours in advance of the moving period.
I waited in a 90 minute line to contest it (the building where you contest/pay parking tickets is one of the few areas in the city where you'll find nothing but 30 minute meters, so it's virtually impossible to drive to contest a ticket without getting another ticket) and was told 'no' without any explanation.
I don't care how dishonest or sleazy Fixed is/was, if they're successfully fighting SFMTA's parking enforcement, I support them. Fuck SFMTA's parking enforcement...it is so beyond corrupt that the people involved need to be put in their place.
- dnr 11y agoFYI, even with a residential permit, you still need to move your car at least every 72 hours: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/parking/how-park-legally https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/parking/how-park-legall... https://www.sfmta.com/services/permits-citations/parking-permits/residential-area-permits/rpp-types/permanent-residents https://www.sfmta.com/services/permits-citations/parking-per... (Wednesday (presumably afternoon) to Saturday morning is less than 72 hours, though, so it still sounds like that one was illegitimate.)
- mml 11y agoWhen I lived in SF, I went to the dpv building to get my California plates and was amazed to see the same thing! You cannot park anywhere nearby for anywhere near long enough to do anything there. I was also amazed at the amount of "street cleaning" that happens there, we do it twice a year, and have significantly cleaner streets.
