By law the Parking Violations Bureau of the City of New York (PVB) must mail notices to persons charged with parking violations. This article discusses the mailing required by that law[1]� and considers the findings made at PVB hearings that such mailing occurred. When mailing is an issue, judgments rendered at PVB hearings are usually vulnerable.
Whenever a person issued a parking ticket has not responded in the manner described on the ticket, PVB must send to the vehicle owner by first class mail a notice of violation in accordance with VTL �235 (2) a (2).[2]� That mailing must take place within 40 days after issuance of the ticket if the vehicle is registered in New York State, or within 40 days after New York City receives the name and address of the owner if the vehicle is registered in another state. If the respondent pleads or appears before that mailing takes place or within 20 days after it takes place, a late penalty must not exceed $10[3]� unless the respondent defaults after making such plea or appearance.[4]�
