Burbank Municipal Code Section 6-1-1010 prohibits using city streets for vehicle storage: no vehicle may be parked on any street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours, and merely moving it within the same block does not reset the clock. Police may remove any vehicle left standing 72 or more consecutive hours.
Under BMC Section 6-1-1010 ("Use of Streets for Storage of Vehicles Prohibited"), no person who owns or controls a vehicle may park it on any street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours. Successive parking in the same block between intersections is presumed to be a single act of parking when the vehicle is moved merely to evade the limit, so nudging the car a few feet does not restart the clock. The Police Department, when authorized by the Chief of Police, may remove or cause to be removed any vehicle parked 72 or more consecutive hours. On residential streets, BMC Section 6-1-1003 lets neighborhoods petition for a Permit Parking zone restricting parking to one or two hours for non-permit holders, typically enforced Monday-Friday 8 AM-6 PM. These local rules supplement the California Vehicle Code, which Burbank enforces through the parking penalty process in Vehicle Code Section 40200 et seq.
A vehicle parked over 72 hours may be cited and towed under BMC 6-1-1010(B). Parking violations are infractions enforced administratively through the California Vehicle Code Section 40200 parking-penalty process; fines are set by the Burbank fee/bail schedule, and towed vehicles incur tow and storage charges plus a city administrative release fee.
