Summary

On February 16, 2016, at approximately 9:15 PM, in the vicinity of Bradford Street and Livonia Avenue in Brooklyn, [redacted] was issued a summons for parking at a fire hydrant by PO Tony Cuoco.

A VTL summons for blocking a fire hydrant was issued during the course of this incident (02 Board Review). Read report for details.
