SCOFF, SCOFF: THE PSYCHIC DOESN'T STOP

An officer from the Dept. of Sanitation said: STOP, IT'S ILLEGAL

An officer from the 19th Precinct said a patrol car came by to see the sign and ask that it be removed.

SO? SO WHAT, SAYS THE SCOFFLAW!

September 1st, Saturday.

THE SIGN IS CHAINED TO THE PARKING SIGN AGAIN

The PSYCHIC owns the parking sign on 73rd and 1st? Owns the sidewalk on 73rd and 1st? Owns the property on 1370 York Avenue that includes the corner of 73rd an 1st?

NO. But SCOFF SCOFF, once again the PSYCHIC sign is CHAINED up.

Bareburger, 1370 York, pays for this highly visible bit of real estate, and is responsible for the sidewalk in front of it.

Meaning, if it was snowing, or if there was broken glass, would it be up to the PSYCHIC to clean the sidewalk in front of her sign, or Bareburger?

So why the hell is this conjob, this scofflaw, this obnoxious blight to the neighborhood, STILL SCOFFING?

Is it possible that city government officials can't do more than call up a scofflaw and ask "Please stop?"

Is it possible that "after 5pm on the weekends" is really all it takes to get a free pass for illegal behavior?

The Psychic must figure that the city will continue this Alphonse & Gaston act of having Sanitation, Transportation and the Cops all saying, "Sorry, we can't cut a chain, sorry, we can't confiscate a sign (even if we can tow a car that we feel isn't parked the way we like it), sorry, we aren't answering the phone after 5pm, sorry, we don't do anything on the weekend.

Today, the 19th Precinct declared they could not send anyone over, or even alert a patrol car to drive by any time between 5pm and 10pm or 11pm, or call the PSYCHIC and say "unchain the sign," because "of the Dominican Day Parade." In Brooklyn. The 19th Precinct is within walking distance of this Manhattan sign! A phone call could have been made -- or does the 19th Precinct really intend, next week, to go over there, and write up a summons?

This is the city that never sleeps...it just dozes after 5pm on weekends....

dozes while some bogus fortune teller, some "psychic" who probably couldn't detect a smell in a sewer, chains up illegal signs and makes a cash profit off free advertising space on a public sidewalk. This is a blight on the neighborhood.
