Every parking area provided for the use of tenants of multifamily dwellings
of four families or more shall be lighted between the hours of sunset and
sunrise. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to provide
tenants of such a multifamily dwelling with an unlighted parking area.
The lighting of a parking area provided for the use of tenants of such
multifamily dwelling shall be installed, arranged and maintained in such a
manner as to light the entire area without the presence of shadows and to
deflect the light from the public highways and residence buildings. The purpose
of the foregoing conditions are for the protection of persons using said parking
area and to eliminate the glare of lights on the public highways and from
residential buildings.
This chapter shall be administered by the Building Inspector; provided,
however, that this section shall not be construed to limit or restrict the
enforcement of this chapter to the Building Inspector.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this
chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine not exceeding $200 for
each violation or be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not exceeding
30 days, or both. Every day that a violation continues shall, for the purposes
hereof, be considered a separate violation.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon publication according
to law.
