Complaints about parked cars blocking fire hydrants have more than doubled since the start of the pandemic — with critics blaming the surge on bike lanes and even a lack of cops, records show.
The number of 311 calls on blocked hydrants has been skyrocketing for years, with 11,886 reports in 2014 ballooning to 64,346 in 2020 to more than 100,000 every year since, according to an analysis of city data by The Post.
