If a person who has received a citation for overtime parking believes the meter for the parking space is defective or malfunctioning, such person shall call the Office of Parking Services at (954) 921-3535 within 96 hours of receiving the citation to have the meter checked by City staff. The 96 hours does not include weekends and holidays. If the meter is found to be defective or malfunctioning, the citation will be excused. If the meter is operating properly the recipient will then have the opportunity to request a court hearing by following the instructions in section C.
