Illegible parking signs.
NYC Admin. Code § 19-175.7
in effect§ 19-175.7 Illegible parking signs.
Notwithstanding any rule or regulation to the contrary, when a notice of violation is issued to an owner of a vehicle for failure to observe a parking sign, it shall be an affirmative defense to such violation, with the burden of proof on the vehicle owner charged with such notice of violation, that both sides of such sign were not legible. If there are other legible parking signs on the same blockface that apply to the parking space and parking violation at issue, such affirmative defense will not be available. The term "blockface" has the same meaning as set forth in section 19-167.4.
