Full Breakdown
§ 71.06(A) prohibits any owner or person in possession/control of a vehicle from parking or leaving it standing on a street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours. Under (B), a vehicle counts as parked or left standing beyond 72 hours unless it has been moved to a spot more than 1,000 feet from where it originally parked, so periodic minor repositioning doesn't reset the clock. § 71.05(A) authorizes an enforcement official to remove or immobilize any vehicle that has been parked or left standing on a street 72 or more consecutive hours.
Violations & Fines
A vehicle left on a street or alley past 72 consecutive hours, or moved less than 1,000 feet to evade the limit, is a citable violation and can be towed or immobilized by an enforcement official under § 71.05(A).
