SCOFFING ALL WEEKEND: THE PSYCHIC LAUGHS AGAIN

A city government agency LITERALLY CALLED the number on the Psychic's sign and said "What you are doing is ILLEGAL. You can NOT CHAIN SIGNS TO PUBLIC PROPERTY."

What happened this weekend?

SCOFF, SCOFF!

On August 18th, the PSYCHIC chained the sign to the corner of 73rd and York. You can see the OUR TOWN newspaper as proof of the date.

All day Saturday, the sign was up, because the PSYCHIC has divine powers, and knows that nobody from Sanitation or the 19th Precinct is going to do anything about anything on a weekend, or after 5pm.

PS, just down the block, our ugly little "MATH TUTOR" once again taped HIS illegal sign to the bus shelter. He's the one who shouts, "Who are YOU!!!" when people tell him he shouldn't be doing this. It seems he might only respond if someone in uniform is there to catch him putting up the sign. Or, comes to his apartment? Or calls him up?

Another Scofflaw watcher says there was another sign (on pink paper) taped to the Bus Shelter on the downtown side of York, at 86th. Do we need a picture of that? Would it matter? Will the city start to allow photo documentation, or some kind of "notary public" to confirm a violation without the Sanitation Department having to drive by two days after the sign's been pulled down, and do nothing?

SUNDAY...

Aram took the day off, but the PSYCHIC switched locations on 73rd, from York back to First Avenue, putting the sign up after 5pm this time. Might be because the PSYCHIC decided to take the day off. Entitled to it, you know. Runs a cash business. Has some extra money to shop with on a lovely Sunday. HERE IS THE SIGN. The trucking company would confirm the date and time that truck was parked in front of Bareburger.

A closer look?

"MATH TUTOR" and "PSYCHIC" are deliberate, perpetual, continual, habitual SCOFFLAWS. The more they get away with it, the more signs will be put up by others as well, turning the most civilized part of the city into a slummy-looking, oppressive dump. Mayor Giuliani knew all about "quality of life" and how graffiti and ugly illegal signs degenerate a neighborhood.
