Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this
article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper
regulation of traffic, and any peace officer may provide for the removal
of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal
and storage, which may result from such removal, before regaining
possession of the vehicle.
Any person violating the provisions of this article shall, upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of $100 for the first offense,
and a fine not to exceed $500 for each offense thereafter occurring
within six months of the previous offense. Each day on which a violation
of an ordinance exists shall be considered a separate and distinct
violation and shall be subject to imposition of a separate penalty
for each day of the violation as the Municipal Court Judge may determine.
