Can an establishment close off handicapped parking spaces and offer free valet parking service in New York?

Question

I was the passenger in a vehicle driven by a handicapped individual who possessed a vehicle handicapped hang tag. Upon arriving at a restaurant for a catered affair, all handicapped spots were blocked with orange cones and free valet parking was offered. The driver argued with the valet, stating that the cones must be removed and access provided to the spots. The valet refused to move the cones and walked away, offering no assistance to the handicapped driver. The driver proceeded (rudely inappropriate, I must add) to drive over the cone and park in the handicapped spot. This put me in an awkward position, and I am angry at the driver. However, what is the regulation here?

Answer 2

I don't think they can legally obstruct disabled bays like this. If I was the driver I'd have done exactly the same thing. Disabled bays are meant for people with a disability! For example, if that had been me with my disabled nana in the car, I would have parked in the disabled bay because she can't walk far! Your friend was in the right I would say!
