Free Crime Prevention Programs
V.I.N. Etching
This process permanently etches your vehicle identification number into the glass of your automobile. If the car thief attempts to remove the numbers from the window, it will leave a scar and make it difficult to sell the glass or the car.
Free Registration & ID engraving
NYPD will engrave bicycles, computers, televisions, and other valuable items with a registered identification number (usually the owner's social security number).
Free Security Assessment
Staff from the 108th Precinct will come to your facility and conduct a free security assessment, and will make recommendations regarding potential security breaches. They'll also offer auto theft reduction services for your employees. Their vigilance helps keep Long Island City one of the city's safest neighborhoods.
Traffic Issues
Reduce and manage your parking tickets:
- NYC Commercial Fleet Program: Finds, organizes and tracks commercial parking tickets for company fleet vehicles. All vehicles must have commercial plates; if leased, company must have lease rider.
Stipulated Fine Program for Commercial Vehicles: Enrolled companies pay reduced parking fines for delivery vehicles, in exchange for waiving the right to contest parking tickets. Companies must make good-faith efforts to comply with NYC Traffic rules.
The Commercial Abatement Program for service companies, such as contractors. Participants agree to pay pre-set, reduced fines for each offense.
Driveway or street blocked by cars or trucks
If this happens only occasionally, by the time a police officer comes out to write a ticket, the vehicle may already be gone. If this happens for longer periods or frequently, call either LICBDC at 718.786.5300 or the 108th or 114th Precinct to report it. After a summons has been placed upon a car blocking a driveway, the blocked person can then call a towing company to tow the car.
Cars without license plates abandoned on street
Notify LICBDC with location of car. We will notify the police and / or Dept. of Sanitation for its removal.
Damaged or missing traffic signs
Call LICBDC with exact location of signs. We will ask Department of Transporation to replace them.
