(A) When a complaint is made to the Police Department regarding unauthorized parking, the investigating officer shall complete an appropriate complaint form and have it signed by the complainant. The vehicle shall be ticketed for a violation of this section of the code and any other applicable sections.
(B) If, in the opinion of the investigating officer, the illegally parked vehicle is causing an emergency situation by preventing proper ingress or egress of any foot or vehicular traffic, or by preventing free movement of traffic, he may direct the vehicle to be removed by a reputable towing firm to a reputable storage or parking garage. The investigating officer may also direct the removal of the vehicle if the vehicle remains illegally parked on any private property, private road or driveway, or parking lot after the vehicle is ticketed for unauthorized parking, or if the record shows that the particular vehicle has had many repeated offenses for unauthorized parking so as to be considered a habitual nuisance.
