No person shall park, stand, store or leave a motor vehicle
on any publicly or privately owned premises or property, parking areas
or parking lots, without the consent and permission of the owner or

A.
To effectuate the prohibition on such premises as 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
condition of parking thereon. A sign as hereinafter described shall
be deemed substantial compliance with this section.

B.
Such signs shall be at least two feet high by three 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 section 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 owner 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.
A.
This article may be enforced by the police or special patrolmen in
the same manner as elsewhere provided for the enforcement of traffic
or parking ordinances, including the use of tags, summonses and towing,
and any other procedure authorized by law.
B.
Proof of ownership of a vehicle shall be presumptive evidence in
action for enforcement of this article that the owner parked or caused
his vehicle to be parked on such premises.
If such premises adjoin or abut upon a building or structure
whose entrances or exits open upon such parking area, no vehicles
shall be left parked, standing or placed in such a manner as to obstruct
such entrances or exits, and a clear unobstructed passage shall be
maintained and left open from such entrances or exits to the street
or public right-of-way; such passageway shall be equal in width to
the width of said entrances or exits in each instance, but in no case
shall be less than five feet wide, and shall permit persons to enter
and leave such building or structure with safety. A sign attached
to such building or structure at the place of such entrances or exits
shall inform users of such restrictions, and failure to obey the regulations
herein contained shall be deemed a violation of this article.
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 at the premises
of such owner or lessee who fails to give the cooperation required
herein.
A.
Where the owner of a premises desires to prohibit completely parking
thereon, he may notify the public to that effect by a conspicuous
sign or signs placed on said premises stating in substance:
|
NO PARKING
|
|
POLICE ENFORCEMENT
|
|
UNDER PENALTY OF LAW
|
|
VILLAGE LOCAL LAW NO. 1-1979
|
B.
Such sign shall be not less than 18 inches in height by 24 inches
in width, with red lettering not less than two inches high upon a
white background. Any person who parks or leaves a vehicle on such
posted premises shall be deemed in violation of this article.
A violation of this article shall be deemed an offense and shall
be punishable by a fine in an amount not to exceed $25.
