It's called Parking Enforcement and New York City has more than any other jurisdiction.

    But they still barely do their job?

    They absolutely do their jobs very thoroughly - but only where it will have no repercussions for them. There probably isn’t even a shift assigned to this lot, thanks to some back room agreement with the cops.

    It's not as much a back room deal as it's an understanding. If the parking attendant gets into an altercation with a member of the public, thay will need to call for the cops. It would be couter productive to book a cops car only to have to get that same cop to come and help later. Like clamping a fire truck only for your house to burn down.

    The chef should be looking at getting rid of cops that can't follow the basic licence place and parking laws.
