Abandoned Car On 15th St 4th Ave

What's up with the abandoned car with foreign plates on 15th St & 4th Ave?
It's been there for ~ 3+ months and has received 'a few' parking tickets - no boot, no tow. It's been reported to 311 many times, police have been notified - nada.
It's still there - collecting dust & garbage.

....ah, if it still has lic plates, it is not abandoned according to NYPD.
It is merely parked illegally, and will eventually be towed.

Now, if for example, the licensed plates were to be removed it would become "abandoned" and likely receive prompt attention from the Sanitation Department upon receiving a call from 311.

...do with that information what you wish.

It's the foreign plates that are causing the problem. Even cars with out of state plates don't get towed when they are abandoned...we dealt with one for many months around here that would get 2-3 tickets a week, but no tow. Frustrating. Whynot's proposal...err..intimation...would result in the quickest resolution.

Thanks for your feedback. Very helpful.

It's hard to understand why a car w/foreign plates that has been in the same location for 3+ months & has received approx TWO parking tickets total. However, myself - typical car owner who tries to live w/in the 'parking rules' - receives an average of 2+ tickets a month. So frustrating! Combined with - who owns the car? where did he/she go? are they ok? is it part of a larger story? So odd to me.....
