This sport utility vehicle must belong to a Mass-hole.
Mill Basin residents are fed up with the owner of a white Jeep with a Massachusetts license plate that has been unmoved from its parking space on Strickland Avenue for more than three years. The Jeep, adorned with flat tires and an inspection sticker that expired in 2010, has been parked in a horizontal parking space on the block since at least before Hurricane Sandy, according to local residents fed up with the fact that it is still there and hasn’t been slapped with a citation.
“It makes no sense. Within a few hours of my inspection expiring, I get a ticket,” said a man who lives nearby and declined to give his name. “This car has been parked without any attention or citations for over three years.”
The citizen said he has called 311 several times, but nothing has been done. The Jeep is parked by the El Caribe Country Club near 56th Drive.
An Aug. 15 New York Times article waxed poetic about the long-gone days of New York streets acting as abandoned car depots, but city agencies have yet to address the abandoned vehicles located on E. 59th Street near Avenue U that we wrote about on Aug. 10.
Calls to the 63rd Precinct to get information on the abandoned car was not answered.
