littered with more double parking than trash.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nMonday was intended to be the first day, but the traffic agents who doled out tickets had never heard of the pilot initiative, sources said.<\/p>\n
The $65 fines were sent out in error and were dismissed, the NYPD confirmed. CBS New York<\/p>\n
Each ticket, issued for failing to move a car during scheduled street sweeping, costs $65.<\/p>\n
The Sanitation Department told The Post it notified several agencies like the NYPD and Finance Department about the program in the weeks ahead of its start date.<\/p>\n
But a source close to the issue said just one notice was sent on the issue without confirmation or follow-up, leading to the orange-ticket blunder.<\/p>\n

There was a lack of \u201ccoordination\u201d between the DSNY and NYPD, the insider said.<\/p>\n
Locals, however, slammed the \u201cexcuse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sucks because\u00a0I\u00a0feel\u00a0like there\u2019s no mercy. Something happens and right away, you\u00a0fined with\u00a0a crazy adhesive sticker that doesn\u2019t come off. I think it\u2019s brutal, I think it\u2019s too aggressive\u00a0to put a\u00a0sticker,\u201d said\u00a0Yosef Amresh, a real estate agent \u00a0<\/p>\n
The neighborhood typically has alternate side parking rules twice a week on each side of the roads. Helayne Seidman<\/p>\n
The NYPD emphasized that the slip-up had already been resolved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese summonses were issued in error and have already been voided. We will ensure that the Department of Sanitation creates a formal process for notifying the NYPD about any requests for changes to longstanding parking rules,\u201d a spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police could not share how many summonses were issued, but City Councilmember Crystal Hudson\u2019s office received about 12 complaints.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrivers have notified our office that they received summonses on days when enforcement was not supposed to occur in the pilot area,\u201d Hudson told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur office has reached out directly to the Department of Sanitation, local NYPD precincts, and the NYPD Chief of Traffic to ensure traffic enforcement agents do not issue tickets on non-enforcement days. The City has assured us that any summonses issued on non-designated enforcement days will be dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The blunder will be corrected for next week, her office said.<\/p>\n
