   b.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, a person may be issued more than one full-term or temporary food vendor permit to vend in any area under the jurisdiction of the department of parks and recreation pursuant to an agreement entered into in accordance with chapter fourteen of the charter. Such person shall be exempt from any provisions of this subchapter restricting the number of full-term or temporary food vendor permits that may be issued to any one person and the full-term or temporary food vendor permits issued to such persons also shall be exempt from any provisions of this subchapter restricting the total number of full-term and temporary food vendor permits that may be issued. Such permits shall be subject to all other provisions, limitations and conditions imposed by this code or the health code, and all rules promulgated thereunder.
§ 17-321 Enforcement.
   a.   Public health sanitarians or other authorized officers or employees of the department and police officers shall have the power to enforce all laws, rules and regulations relating to food vendors. This provision shall in no way restrict any other power granted by law to any officer or employee of the city.
   b.   If a food vendor does not move his or her vehicle or pushcart when directed to do so by a police officer or other authorized officer or employee of the city in compliance with the provisions of subdivision k of section 17-315 of this subchapter, such officer or employee may provide for the removal of such vehicle or pushcart to any garage, automobile pound or other place of safety, and the owner or other person lawfully entitled to the possession of such vehicle or pushcart may be charged with reasonable costs for such removal and storage, payable prior to the release of such vehicle or pushcart.
   c.   An officer or employee designated in subdivision a of this section may seize any vehicle or pushcart which (i) does not have a permit or (ii) is being used to vend on property owned by the city and under the jurisdiction of a city agency including, but not limited to, the department of parks and recreation or the department of small business services, without the written authorization of the commissioner of such department, or (iii) is being used by an unlicensed vendor, or (iv) is being used to vend in the area including and bounded on the east by the easterly side of Broadway, on the south by the southerly side of Liberty Street, on the west by the westerly side of West Street and on the north by the northerly side of Vesey Street, or (v) is selling food not authorized by the permit, and may seize any food sold or offered for sale from such vehicle or pushcart.

   d.   If a food vendor operates any food vending business on any street at any time where and when the operation of any food vending business is prohibited pursuant to the provisions of section 20-465.1 of the code and any rules promulgated pursuant thereto, or if a food vendor operates a food vending business in the area including and bounded on the east by the easterly side of Broadway, on the south by the southerly side of Liberty Street, on the west by the westerly side of West Street and on the north by the northerly side of Vesey Street, any authorized officer or employee of the city or member of the New York city police department is authorized to provide for the removal of such food vendor's food, vehicle or pushcart to any garage, automobile pound or other place of safety, and the owner or other person lawfully entitled to the possession of such vehicle or pushcart or food may be charged with reasonable costs for removal and storage.
