Study Notes
Parking for Sale Violations
- Policy aims for fair and consistent enforcement of "vehicle for sale" parking violations, adhering to City Prosecutor's Office guidelines.
- Focus is on resolving issues through notice, rather than immediate police action, whenever possible.
- Consistency, conformity, and fairness in enforcement are key policy goals.
Applicable Ordinances
- 36-158(a)(1): Prohibits parking for certain purposes.
- 36-161: Regulates storage of cars on streets.
- 36-170: Addresses unlicensed and unregistered vehicles.
- 36-231: Declares unlawfully parked vehicles as obstructions, misdemeanors, and public nuisances.
- 36-232: Authorizes removal of vehicles.
- 36-233: Outlines complaint and notice procedures.
Guidelines
- General guidelines are not exhaustive, needing specific responses in unique situations.
- Contact the Nuisance Task Force Squad for assistance in complex cases.
- Proper Parking: If parked legally on public right-of-way with a clear "For Sale" sign or window marking, a citation for 36-158 violation and a 48-hour tow notice will be issued; "Dead Storage" is marked on the tow notice.
- Private Property Parking: Vehicle must be licensed, in running condition, and parked on a paved driveway (asphalt, concrete, or brick) for private property parking. Violation of 18-42 and 18-43 leads to notices. Non-compliance results in towing.
- Multiple "For Sale" Vehicles: Placement on quasi-public property (e.g., large parking lots), for display purposes, should be reported to the Nuisance Task Force Squad.
- Exception for Businesses: This policy doesn't apply to licensed motor vehicle dealerships.
