Parking Ticket (Defective Meter)
hello,, I recently got a parking ticket involving a defective meter.
Here's what happened, when i parked at the spot i noticed the meter said "FAIL"(it's a digital meter) and that there was a quarter stuck inside. Well I then went my way and when I came back which was about 30 minutes later there was a friggin ticket on my window! and the meter was fixed!
What is the law for broken meters? I live in NY.
I can get a ticket even after the meter was fixed while I was away from my car?? I was only gone for 30 minutes!
Do I have a chance to fight this ticket in court?

But I was wondering if they kept a record of all the defective meters and the the time for each meter fixed, because with that I can prob use that as evidence since it all happened within 30minutes.
ticket = 35bucks

Can I park at a broken meter or at a space where the meter is missing?
If a meter is broken, you can park for a maximum of one hour, even if the posted sign is for a longer time period. If the meter is missing, you can park for the maximum amount of time posted on the signs.
NYC.gov and Other Resources:
Traffic and Parking Information - NYC DOT
good luck proving you stop there for less than an hour...
