No person shall park, stand, store or leave a motor vehicle
upon any public or privately owned premises or property, parking areas
or parking lots without the consent and permission of the owner or
lessee of such premises.
A.
To effectuate the prohibition on such premises above described, a
conspicuous sign or signs shall be posted at the entrances to such
parking lots or parking areas, informing the public as to the permitted
conditions for parking thereon. A sign as hereinafter described shall
be deemed substantial compliance with this section.

B.
Such signs shall be at least three feet high by four feet wide, with
red lettering of a size not less than above indicated upon a white
background. The words "police enforcement" and "under penalty of law"
on such signs shall be construed, among other things, to mean a request
by the owner or lessee that the police or special patrolmen shall
enforce the provisions of this article against persons parking, standing,
storing or leaving vehicles on such premises without the consent of
the owner or lessee, and that the police are authorized to enter upon
such premises to enforce the provisions of this article. Such signs
shall state the conditions of parking or the persons authorized by
the owners or lessee to use said premises for parking, or both; and
persons not included within such authorization, or violating the regulations
and conditions set out on said signs, shall be deemed to be using
said premises unlawfully without the authority and consent of the
owner or lessee.
This article may be enforced by Cheektowaga Police Department
or special patrolmen in the same manner as elsewhere provided for
in the traffic ordinances of the Village of Sloan for the enforcement
of traffic or parking ordinances, including the use of tags, summonses
and any other procedures authorized by law.
Proof of ownership of a vehicle shall be presumptive evidence
in an action for enforcement of this article that the owner parked
or caused his vehicle to be parked on such premises.
A.
On demand of the police, any owner or lessee requesting police enforcement
of this article shall furnish to the police a statement in writing,
signed by him or his agent, to the effect that a specified vehicle
was unlawfully parked, stored or left upon his premises at a certain
time or during a certain period without his consent or permission,
and such owner or lessee shall be available to testify to such facts
in court at the request of the police.
B.
Failure of an owner or lessee to comply with the request of the police
as above set out shall be sufficient cause for the Chief of Police
or his subordinates to cease enforcing this article on behalf of an
owner or lessee who fails to give the cooperation required herein.
