What A 7227 does, verified January 11, 2026
The bill aims to amend the administrative code of the city of New York to increase the total dollar amount of outstanding parking violations that can be deemed a "scofflaw" by the city. A vehicle owner will be considered a scofflaw if they have more than three outstanding parking violations or if the total amount of outstanding judgments, including interest, exceeds $550. This change will allow the city to remove vehicles from public areas solely for satisfying outstanding parking judgments if the owner is a scofflaw. The bill also clarifies that the removal of vehicles that are illegally parked, stopped, or standing is not prohibited. The bill takes effect immediately.
