Valet operator says he will pause service and pivot to AI-based parking system

Patchogue Village Zoning Board of Appeals · June 17, 2026

Summary

Applicant Brian Monahan told the Patchogue zoning board he has paused valet operations after receiving tickets and described plans for an AI-driven license-plate and QR-code system to manage and monetize parking at small lots.

Applicant Brian Monahan told the board he has suspended valet operations after being ticketed for staging cars on village property and that he was shifting plans toward an automated parking/monitoring system. Monahan said the system would use license-plate recognition, QR-code payment and gate/behavior detection to manage short-term parking in small lots.

Monahan told the board he had received tickets and is pausing operations while he resolves permission and enforcement questions with the village. “I’m on, like, auto ticket right now,” he said during the hearing. Board members asked whether each location would require separate approval and clarified that staging or leaving cars on village-owned property is an enforcement issue separate from the special-permit review for private lots.
