in effect§ 32-133. - Impoundment and immobilization of vehicles with multiple delinquent parking citations.
(a) The Police Department is authorized to immobilize and/or impound any vehicle that has been declared a public nuisance in accordance with Section 32-132 of this Code, and in doing so shall proceed in accordance with this section.
(b) The Municipal Court Administrator and the Police Department shall maintain a list of vehicles that have been declared to be a nuisance as a result of delinquent parking citations attributed to the current owner and the dates of the parking violations.
(c) If a vehicle that is on the current list maintained in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section is found on a public street or other public right-of-way within the City, or is otherwise subject to impound, it may be impounded and shall be released in accordance with the procedures of Section 32-134 of this Code. In the alternative, if the vehicle is parked on a public street or other public right-of-way within the City, the Police Department may immobilize the vehicle with a wheel boot. The information desk of the Police Department shall be notified as soon as possible after the vehicle has been impounded or immobilized. A vehicle that has been immobilized for more than four hours and not released shall be impounded if practicable within 24 hours.
(d) If the vehicle is immobilized, a notice of booting shall be affixed to the window of the vehicle in such a manner, if possible, as to be obvious but not to obstruct visibility for a driver. The notice of booting shall inform interested persons that the immobilizing device will be removed under the following circumstances:
(1) if the amount of the delinquent parking fines, fees and costs, is paid to the Municipal Court, and the receipts for payment are presented to the Police Department at its information desk prior to the deadline stated in the notice; or
(2) if proof of posting a bond in connection with all of the delinquent citations is presented to the Police Department at the information desk prior to the deadline stated in the notice.
