What were you going to ask Santa Claus for the New year? Probably not 26 million dollars, which fell as snow on the head of the inhabitants of the Big Apple.
This is a considerable sum even in a huge metropolis was not a gift from authorities and tied to a bureaucratic error. New York copied and returned half a million Parking receipts due to the fact that they were given the wrong code violations.
The Department reported that an error has occurred after in April in code violations removed just one number from «4-08h10» to «4-08h1». Subsequently, the issued receipts were not updated, making them completely useless and inappropriate urban laws. That’s just about this small typo, it became known after 3 months, in June.
Press Secretary of the Ministry of Finance announced that the service has returned about $ 18 million for 400 860 of fines. To this number was added 808 106 receipts that have not yet been paid, totaling $ 8 million.
We will remind, the authorities of new York officially launched the app ParkNYC in all five boroughs, which allows drivers to pay for and extend Parking remotely.
