§ 366-19. Abandoned or unclaimed vehicles.

The Police Department shall be responsible for notifying the owner of an abandoned vehicle towed under this chapter that his vehicle has been towed to the impound area. In the event a towed vehicle is not removed within seven days by the owner, the towing company shall be responsible for notifying the Police Department of said situation. Failure of the contractor to notify the Police Department as stated herein shall limit the storage charge to seven days only. Thereafter it shall be the obligation of the contractor to contact the owner or operator of a stored vehicle and furnish proof to the Department that such attempt has been made. Failure to notify the owner or operator shall cause the storage charges to end at 30 days. After an attempt to make contact or if contact is made, storage charges will begin again for another 30 days. This procedure shall be followed until storage fees reach a maximum of 90 days.
