In Re: New York City Police Department

On March 29, 2024, the United States issued a letter of findings to the New York City Police Department (NYPD) under Title II of the ADA regarding the lack of accessibility of the pedestrian grid caused by the NYPD’s widespread practice of permitting NYPD and New York City-permitted vehicles to park on sidewalks and in crosswalks.  That letter demanded that the NYPD address the violations identified by taking corrective actions, including reforming parking policies and parking-enforcement trainings in addition to establishing procedures to hold accountable NYPD and New York City employees who park, or allow others to park, in manners that result in violations of the ADA.
