Michael Bloomberg is cracking down on people for doing ordinary city-living activities.
* Jesse Taveras, who sat on a milk crate outside the Bronx hair salon where he works and was fined $105 for "unauthorized use" of the crate.
* Kim Phann and Bruce Rosado, fined for "loitering in front of a business" while taking a smoke break outside the Bronx barber shop where they work.
* Pedro Nazario, 86, of Morningside Heights, whacked with a summons for feeding pigeons.
* Yoav Kashidia, an Israeli tourist, fined $50 for falling asleep on the subway and occupying two seats during his slumber.
* Crystal Rosario, a pregnant Brooklynite, ticketed for resting on a subway step.
* Brian Bui, owner of Mekong restaurant in SoHo, twice fined $200 for allowing a customer to smoke under a retracted awning. Bui fought the second ticket and won, but only after spending $3,000 in legal fees.
