They illegally park wherever. Block sidewalks. Block bike lanes. Block Crosswalks. Double-park.
Imagine I opened a store selling…I don’t know…chairs. Then I put out chairs

on 4 or 5 blocks all around my store!!
To be fair, thats more a bylaw officer problem than a cop problem, at least thats how it would work in my area.
Parking enforcement used to be seperate from NYPD but was subsumed around the late 80s / early 90s. Some US cities still do it that way though, I live in Portland these days and parking enforcement here falls under the bureau of transportation.
