Overtime ticket at broken NYC meter

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York State

My wife was given a ticket when parked at a broken meter for a day. Is this an easily dismissed ticket? I have never thought anything of adding money to a meter before. This ticket seems as though the person writing a ticket was just being excessive. The ticket details are below:
-----------------------------------------
Violation:
Overtime Pkg-Broken Meter (h) (3)
Days/HRS: ALL DAYS/8:30A-7P

VC: 32 Meter# 207-0534 Operational: N Limit: 2 Hr County: Bx

Time of offense: 03:46PM
Time 1st Observed: 01:40PM

Complainant's Comments:
2 hr time limit
---------------------------------------

Is this a valid ticket?

Just because you are ignorant to the rules regarding broken meters doesn't mean the ticket will be dismissed, I'm afraid.

Cool
Generally if a meter displays an error message of some kind, that makes the parking spot invalid. Dunno why people think "Woo hoo, broken meter, free parking!"

There was apparently a 2 hour limit (meter working or not) and "all day" was longer than that. 1:40 PM to 3:46 PM, do the math.
