You cannot block somebody’s private property’s driveway access. It’s the law. Why don’t you educate yourself and instead of being passive aggressive and come on here typing essays arguing. It is standard in this country to tow anybody who block access to your driveway. You can tow at owner’s expense. “But but but”. Do something or quit crying.

It at least tried to have a somewhat original architectural idea/create a vibe.

I still feel like 99 hudson is kinda boring, and the somewhat unique thing about it (the detailing towards the top/break in the windows) feels unfinished or somehow lacking a detail to bring it all together/make sense more visually. I'd rather someone try a big swing and end up with something have a feeling on either way

But, even if that was the case, the fact remains that ticketing cars in JC for VALID parking violations is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. You can't walk a half mile in this town without seeing crazy shit like people parked at crosswalks, or blocking hydrants, or blocking bike lanes, or way too close to the intersections, etc. Ticketing cars for questionable or made up violations seems like such a weird and inefficient way to meet a quota, but what do I know?

So, 77 Hudson, and you are referring to the "NO PARKING ANY TIME - Except vehicles loading and unloading" signs. I would say you could/should fight it, but do understand there is a 50/50 chance it doesn't get dismissed. If that happens, you could be assessed court fees on top of the fine, so you have to consider that. Potential upside, you can fight the ticket via the new online dispute system that doesn't require you show up for court at all. You enter the information, plead not guilty, present your facts, and wait for someone to evaluate and decide. I successfully a fought a similar ticket a few months back. I parked outside my building to unload some groceries and by the time I came back 10-15 minutes later (I got delayed warming up lunch for my kid) I had gotten a ticket. Much to my surprise, the judge was sympathetic and dismissed my ticket via the online dispute system.
