Highest-Paid NYC Parking Judge is Married to Administrative Agency Official
Despite discrepancies between Allan Patricof’s sign-in book and other time records, the New York City parking judge was properly paid the $110,472 he earned in 2006.
Patricof, who racked up 2,315 hours that year—an average of 8.9 hours every weekday of that year, including holidays—put in time at home and in his car, not just in his office in Queens, the city’s finance commissioner, Martha Stark, said when questions arose about Patricof’s pay, reports the New York Times.
He is married to the first deputy commissioner for the city finance department, which oversees the administrative law judge’s work.
Patricof made more than any other parking judge in 2006 and 2007, even though his pay dropped to $84,687 in 2007, the newspaper writes. In 2006, “the average judge billed for 847 hours and collected roughly $33,000 for the year.”
