1The ticket on the windshield
You paid the meter; the receipt fell face down in the footwell. $65 on the glass on E 14th St. Counting both ways it prints, more hearings are held on this ticket than on any other.
Meter receipt: 5,176,051 hearings, 36.4% dismissed outright
2The plate lookup
Free, no account, and the plate is never stored. It reads New York City's own live records: every open ticket on the plate, what each costs today, and the odds on each.
No standing: 3,502,560 hearings, 15.2% dismissed outright
3Every open ticket
An unanswered parking ticket goes to judgment about 100 days after it was issued, and the lookup estimates the day for each. Owe $350 in judgments and the city can boot the car.
Double parking: 2,648,235 hearings, 28.8% dismissed outright
4The odds on your charge
On the code exactly as printed on this ticket, 47.2% of decided hearings ended dismissed outright. Every code has its own rate, free. For some it is in single figures, and the honest answer is to pay.
No parking: 1,842,098 hearings, 32.9% dismissed outright
5The defect check
Plate, state, make, body type, date, place. A required detail the summons got wrong is the cleanest dismissal there is. This one says VAN; the car is a sedan.
Street cleaning: 1,783,452 hearings, 25.8% dismissed outright

9The hearing

Nobody here files it for you or appears for you.
10The decision
New York has decided 27,174,101 ticket hearings: 26.2% dismissed outright, 58.5% dismissed or reduced. That counts every decided hearing. It is not a promise about yours.

Build my statement freeEight plain questions, about 5 minutes. You see the finished statement before anything is asked of you. What the statement contains
Hearings and dismissal rates are computed from NYC Open Data, Open Parking and Camera Violations (nc67-uf89), on 2026-08-31; the method. The eight streets are the eight tickets with the most decided hearings, in that order. The street signs count each ticket the way the site's guides do, every way it prints; the phone counts the code exactly as printed, the way the lookup does. That is why the meter receipt reads 36.4% on its sign and 47.2% on the phone.
Fines come from the Department of Finance schedule (NYC Open Data ncbg-6agr, read 2026-09-02): $65 is code 38 in Manhattan at or below 96th St. The judgment estimate, the hearing window and the $350 boot line come from nyc.gov, Dispute a ticket and Booting and towing, checked September 4, 2026.
The phone screens are examples. The ticket, the plate and the statement on them are the worked example on the statement page, not a customer's ticket, and the decision screen is drawn, not received. Dismissal rates are historical shares of decided hearings, not a prediction for your case.
