THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT PARKING ONLY - I had a bad parking experience turned good due to the honor and understanding of the Deputy Parking Manager. I am the owner of a parking permit through a local apartment complex and one night i forgot to display my pass on my dashboard. I received a $50.00 fine which I could have easily appealed however I happened to be leaving on vacation the next day and it slipped my mind. For those of you who don't know, you have 5 days to file for an appeal. Well, 15 days later I sent an email with my citation info and a picture of my pass to the Parking Bureau, and less than 24 hours later I had a message in my inbox saying it had been changed to a warning.
It would have been very easy for them to cite right on the back of the ticket where it reads "5 days to appeal" and slap me with a $50.00 fine, but instead they understood the life scenario of making a mistake and gave me a warning like everyone deserves in a situation like that. Not your normal response from a parking department, at least not in my experience.
