Summary
Section 355.110 caps how long a vehicle may sit continuously on a Florissant street: seven consecutive days for an ordinary vehicle, cut to just forty-eight hours for anything wrecked, dilapidated or unable to move under its own power, with the overdue vehicle declared a public nuisance.
No person shall park or cause to be parked any vehicle continuously upon any street where parking is permitted for longer than seven (7) consecutive days; nor shall any person park any wrecked or dilapidated vehicle or any vehicle without motive power or not capable of immediate movement on any street or roadway where parking is permitted longer than forty-eight (48) hours. Any such vehicle so parked is hereby declared to be a nuisance and an unlawful obstruction of the highway and street, and the owner thereof shall be prima facie responsible for such violation.

Full Breakdown
The ordinance bars parking any vehicle continuously on a street where parking is otherwise allowed for longer than seven consecutive days. A shorter, forty-eight-hour cap applies to any wrecked or dilapidated vehicle, or one without motive power or not capable of immediate movement. Once either limit is exceeded, the vehicle is declared a nuisance and an unlawful obstruction of the highway and street, and the code makes the owner prima facie responsible, meaning the City can cite the owner directly without having to prove who actually parked it there.
on designated blocks. The rule traces back to Code 1980 §15-132 and CC 1990 §15-307. 110 sets no fine of its own, so a violation is punished under the general penalty clause, which lets each day the vehicle remains count as a separate offense given the nuisance framing.
Violations & Fines
Section 355.110 sets no fine of its own, so enforcement runs through the general penalty in Section 100.080: up to a $1,000 fine, up to three months in jail, or both, and because the ordinance treats an overstayed vehicle as a nuisance, each day it remains can be charged as a separate offense.
