#De Blasio’s three-strikes policy nails just two parking placard abusers in 19 months

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s February 2019 vow to revoke the city-issued parking placards of motorists caught parking illegally has led to just two yanked permits so far — and they aren’t even city employees, the city admitted Monday.

Department of Transportation spokesman Scott Gastel told The Post two non-government organizations — which he refused to name — are set to lose their placards after violating de Blasio’s “three strikes” rule.

Eight city employees, meanwhile, have appealed DOT orders to return their parking passes, Gastel said.

De Blasio announced the three-strikes policy 19 months ago as part of an effort to crackdown on placard-holders who use their permits to park illegally.

The placards are supposed to give drivers reprieve from some parking regs while conducting city business. But they’re frequently abused as park-anywhere passes, often endangering the public as bearers stow their cars in front of fire hydrants, in no standing zones and bike lanes.

Hizzoner’s 2019 announcement also heralded the formation of a 116-officer NYPD unit to crackdown on placard abusers — which City Hall nixed in July amid COVID-19 budget woes.

In July, city officials told The Post they’d issued warnings to just 389 city employees — a small fraction of the 125,000 placards distributed annually to municipal and state employees as well as non-profit organizations.

The effort’s puny outcomes were first reported by The City, which also obtained records showing illegal parking citations for three city council transportation committee members — chair Ydanis Rodriguez (D-Manhattan) and reps Chaim Deutsch and Stephen Levin (D-Brooklyn) — issued before the program began.

Deutsch picked up one $115 ticket for parking in a no-standing zone, according to the city. His spokesperson told the website the councilman “immediately moved his vehicle, and then watched the traffic officer pull into that same ‘no standing’ spot, park his car, and go get lunch.”

Levin, meanwhile, was flagged for driving with a state DMV registration sticker and parking in a no-parking zone, according to the report.

Committee chair Rodriguez told The City he has always sought to follow parking regulations “to the best of my ability.”

“If I have parked in a non-standing area, I have paid off those tickets,” he said.

All three councilmen have since paid the tickets, The City noted.
