City officials on Tuesday began slapping giant, neon-green \u201cshame stickers\u201d on the cars<\/a> of drivers who fail to follow alternate side parking rules.<\/p>\n

The 8.5 x 11-inch adhesives were brought back by Manhattan Council Member Gale Brewer, who sponsored a bill allowing street sweepers to stick it to scofflaw drivers.<\/p>\n

Video posted to social media showed Brewer gleefully anointing the first unlucky vehicles to be shamed on an Upper West Side street.<\/p>\n

\"ANew York City has started placing giant, neon-green \u2018shame stickers\u2019 on cars running afoul of parking rules. DSNY<\/p>\n

\u201cThis vehicle violates NYC parking regulations, as a result, this street could not be properly cleaned,\u201d the stickers state, according to the clip posted by a New York Times reporter.<\/p>\n

Brewer\u2019s bill \u2014 which repealed a decade-old ban on the practice \u2014 passed earlier this summer in a 41-10 vote.<\/p>\n

The New York City Council banned these parking stickers of shame in 2012 and Gale Brewer sponsored a bill to bring them back.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani allowed the legislation, Intro-92, to go into effect after 30 days, declining to sign or veto it.<\/p>\n

But during an unrelated press conference Tuesday, he said he \u201cfully supported\u201d the measure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critically important that the Sanitation Department be able to conduct street cleaning,\u201d Hizzoner told reporters. \u201cWhenever I meet the hardworking members of DSNY, the question is always how we can make their jobs easier. If this measure accomplishes that, I fully support it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The practice was banned by the Council in 2011 after complaints that the adhesive used on the stickers was too difficult to take off and sometimes damaged windows.<\/p>\n
