Daily ticket monitoring
Every vehicle you add is checked against NYC Open Data records every day. NYC Open Data is the public record the City of New York publishes for parking tickets, including payments, penalties, and judgments.

Features
CheckTow watches your vehicles in New York City public records and tells you what needs your attention, before a ticket turns into penalties, a judgment, or a boot.
Boot and tow risk warnings
In New York City, a vehicle can be booted when its owner owes $350 or more in parking ticket judgments, and a booted vehicle can be towed if the debt is not settled. CheckTow tracks your total and warns you as it approaches that line, when a ticket enters judgment, and if the line is crossed.
Plate scanning
Add a vehicle by pointing your camera at its plate, or type the plate number in. Your first scan is free and does not need an account.
Alerts your way
Get new ticket, penalty date, judgment, and boot risk alerts as push notifications, email, or both. A weekly summary brings it all together. You choose the channels in settings.
More than one vehicle
Add the cars you own or are responsible for, and see each vehicle's tickets, balances, and risk in one place.
Household sharing
Invite people in your household so they get the same alerts for shared vehicles.
Your information stays yours
CheckTow does not collect your device location. Ticket locations come from the city's summons records, not from your phone. You can export your information or delete your account from inside the app. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
