Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Garber, Gerald A. vs City of New York, et al.
Case # 715818/2017, Supreme Court - Queens, November 17, 2017
Complaint
Description: On August 22, 2016, Plaintiff Gerald A. Garber was issued a parking summons by an unidentified NYPD police officer from the 109th Precinct in Flushing, NY. The complaint alleges that the summons was issued fraudulently in that the Plaintiff's car, a 2012 BMW bearing Florida tags, was never parked in the location (a bus stop) stated in the summons and that the Defendant officer issued the summons knowing it was fraudulent simply to meet a quota. The summons was dismissed after a hearing by Administrative Law Judge Susan W. Resch-Weinman.
