Feds Move On Russia’s Unpaid NYC Parking Tickets

NBC New York reports:

After the I-Team revealed Russian diplomats abusing parking privileges and failing to pay $101,000 in outstanding NYC parking summonses, NBC New York has learned the U.S. State Department has held up more than two dozen registrations for vehicles belonging to the Russian Federation. The action will prevent Russia from renewing some of its U.S. diplomatic license plates until some of the outstanding tickets are paid.

The I-Team documented Russian diplomatic vehicles parked on sidewalks and in No Stopping Zones near the Russian Federation Mission to the UN on East 67th Street. Another car with Russian diplomatic plates was parked in a spot reserved for FDNY personnel. Just this week, the I-Team again spotted a Lexus sedan with Russian diplomatic plates parked in the middle of the sidewalk on East 67th Street.

Russian diplomats have racked up $100k in parking tix throughout my district.

They are not above the law. Watch below for my conversation w @glorioso4ny on why this is unfair. https://t.co/VfZq68kUPv
