NYC Violation Hearing Deadline Tracker

NYC penalties do not stay fixed. They escalate on a rigid schedule that starts the day a violation is issued. A parking ticket gains $10 at 30 days, another $30 at 60 days, $60 more at 75 days, and reaches civil judgment around day 90. Camera violations move even faster — judgment hits at 75 days. For OATH violations, failing to appear at a hearing triggers a default penalty of up to 5x the original fine. Enter your violation date below and select the type to see a visual timeline of every penalty increase, the exact date each one takes effect, and which penalties have already been added if the ticket is overdue. Knowing where you are on this timeline is the first step to preventing unnecessary penalty charges.
