A Bronx man has been parking in perfectly legal spots in his neighborhood for the past two years, but try telling that to the cops who slapped him with nearly $12,000 in tickets.
Jeremy Skehan, 31, says he has beaten every ticket but one — although he’s not throwing in the towel on that one just yet.
“It’s a training issue on the part of the cops, but it’s a greed issue on the part of the city,” the Woodlawn resident told The Post. “No one wants to see the gravy train stop.”
Skehan and his wife have received dozens of tickets for parking at the intersection of Webster Avenue and East 326th Street alongside a pedestrian curb.
As The Post revealed last week, the tickets are part of the NYPD’s $4 million blitz targeting vehicles parked in front of such curb cuts, which are legal spots.
Skehan said he used to dispute his tickets in person at the city Department of Finance in the South Bronx.
Now he has a special form saved on his computer that allows him to fight them online.
“It’s gotten to the point where I just cut and paste them in,” he said.
Skehan is still contesting his outstanding ticket from September 2014, filing a lawsuit that claims he shouldn’t be responsible for the fine.
“This is a battle,” he said. “A lot of people in the neighborhood have gotten tickets.”
