bloombergThere are stunning charges that a New York City agency charged with policing small businesses has a secret quota system and devastatingly high fines that threaten some establishments with extinction.

Michael Bloomberg, the mayor known in some circles as “El Bloombito,” is now being called “Ticket Me Elmo” by a bevy of small business owners crushed by the profusion of tickets being handed out by Department of Consumer Affairs inspectors, who told CBS 2 that they have to meet quotes – or else, political reporter Marcia Kramer reported exclusively on Tuesday.

“They want small business [to] go out of business,” said East Flatbush gas station owner Ekam Cattry.

Cattry was in the process of converting from a no-brand station to an Exxon station when Consumer Affairs inspectors struck.

They hit him with a $20,000 fine because the new sign reading “Exxon” had not arrived yet. And while he was appealing that they threatened to take away his cigarette license because he had not paid the first fine.

“They want to collect much money and small man don’t make that much money. That mean people they no pay the money they have to close their business,” Cattry said. “It’s not fair.”

The number of tickets given out by Consumer Affairs has skyrocketed from 10.9 million in 2010 to nearly 24.2 million in 2012.

Inspectors told CBS 2 it’s because the department instituted a secret quota.
An internal Consumer Affairs document obtained by CBS 2 shows employees are prodded about their “productivity levels” to “keep numbers high” to meet a “25 percent threshold.”

Translation? A ticket has to be written on one out of every four inspections.

  1. He never respected people! And certainly not people who earn less than he! His record of disregard and disrespect is so stark yet with so much happening has become forgotten. Just recently his MBP, soda thing, ‘Mushchass’ life-style laws are just a few. Nothing real positive have developed during his past 11 years. Crime figures are not his credit. There have been many increases in tickets and their fees during this time snd his explanation on Gambling’s show once was, “Well the City needs the money, you know!”

    Does anybody know, can these edicts be retracted by next mayor?

  2. #6,

    do you understand English?

    It’s impossible for everyone to pass. There is a quota that the inspectors must fill, or they lose their job! they must ticket one out of every four businesses, regardless of whether the business violated any laws.

  3. Yes yes yes! Lord Mike has struck once again with his “GOTCHA” police! When will we finally be free from this tyrant?!

  4. To #6:
    What if the criteria were deliberately set up to be impossible to pass, for the sole purpose of collecting draconian fines? Sounds like mafia. Perhaps Bloomberg and the whole NYC ruling class should be charged with racketeering?
