Here, via three years' worth of parking complaints to the city's 311 operators (more than 36,000 calls, by the way), are the top 15 blocks where somebody's going to dime you out for improper parking etiquette.

Disclaimer: What's the 311? is based on data from the Mayor's Office of Information Technology (currently from Sept. 20, 2005, until Sept. 30, 2008). It has been folded, spindled, and mutilated along the way, and no attempt has been made to verify the accuracy of the calls. Not everyone loves the carnival.
