help my appeal was denied

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

Just got a letter from an admin law judge Leslie Comens, who wrote:
The respondent has been charged with violaton of traffic rule 4-08 (c) by standing or parking a vehicle where standing is prohibited. Respondent claims the sign was missing. To establish this claim, respondent must show there were no readable signs on the entire block. Respondent's claim is not supported by persuasive evidence. Respondent is found guilty of the violation.

I had submitted a picture of my car parked next to a pole with no sign. I think there was a no standing sign about 25 yards behind my car, and a fire hydrant followed by a bus stop. What's my recourse? Thank you in advance.

Pay the fine. The prosecution proved it's point and you concurred

You have no recourse. As the judge stated, you didn't show that there was no other pertinent signage anywhere else on the block. There only has to be one sign on the block. The fact that a single sign was missing is not evidence that there was not another.
