§ 12-2403. Towing Zones; Designation; Signs.
   (1)   Public Streets.
      (a)   The Council of the City of Philadelphia shall, by ordinance, designate towing zones.
      (b)   Such ordinance shall specify the hours during which vehicles shall be removed or towed from such towing zones.
      (c)   All towing zones shall be clearly designated by appropriate signs.
   (2)   Other Streets. 214
      (a)   Council finds that the traffic congestion resulting from the extensive parking of vehicles on private service streets and ramps abutting multistory residential buildings and adjacent garage facilities interferes with and impedes the free flow of vehicular traffic around, and access to, such buildings and presents a serious hazard to the safety, health and general welfare of the residents of such buildings in the event of fire or other public emergency.
      (b)   Whenever the Fire Commissioner or Police Commissioner finds that the parking of motor vehicles on private service streets and ramps abutting multi-story buildings results in traffic congestion and interference with the free flow of vehicular traffic and to and from such buildings, and creates a hazard to the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of such buildings, the Fire Commissioner or Police Commissioner may certify such fact to the Street Department, which shall thereupon promulgate and issue appropriate regulations prohibiting parking and creating towing zones on such streets and ramps.

When the Department intends to retain possession of the vehicle pending an investigation, the notice shall so state, and the Department shall issue a subsequent notice of the appropriate time informing the owner that the vehicle may be reclaimed. No notice shall be required of removal by the Department where the owner of the vehicle has contacted the Department within seventy-two hours of such removal. 230
   (3)   When a vehicle has not been reclaimed within fifteen (15) days of issuance of notice that it is available to be reclaimed, the Department or its designated agent shall thereafter send notice to all registered lienholders of the vehicle, informing such lienholders that the vehicle may be reclaimed upon proof of right to possession and payment of all outstanding fees, charges and fines, and that the vehicle may be sold at public auction if not reclaimed within fifteen (15) days.

   (6)   When a vehicle is towed by the Parking Authority pursuant to this Section or other provision of law, the Parking Authority shall promptly determine whether or not the vehicle has been reported stolen through reasonably available state databases. If the vehicle has been reported stolen, the Parking Authority shall notify the Police, secure the vehicle, and provide notice of impoundment to the owner or lienholder as provided in this Section.

§ 12-2406. Recovery of Vehicles; Hearings. 235
   (1)   Any vehicle which has been immobilized or impounded pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter may be recovered by one of the following means:
      (a)   The owner or any person on behalf of the owner may demand an expedited hearing before a Parking Hearing Examiner appointed pursuant to Chapter 12-2800. Such demand shall be made in writing upon a form supplied by the City. Such hearing shall be held not later than the first day, excluding Sunday, following the demand therefor, at a convenient central location during normal business hours, and at such other times and places as the City shall direct. The issue to be determined at such hearing shall be whether reasonable cause existed to believe that the vehicle immobilized or impounded was in violation of the traffic ordinances and laws of the City of Philadelphia or of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and that the towing or booting of such vehicle was authorized by law.
         (.1)   Any person whose vehicle is immobilized or impounded under the provisions of this Chapter shall have the right to leave the vehicle in the City's tow lot or immobilized by a boot, pending the hearing referred to above.
         (.2)   If the Parking Hearing Examiner determines that the vehicle was immobilized or impounded without reasonable cause to believe that it was in violation of the traffic ordinances and laws of the City of Philadelphia or of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or that the towing or booting was unauthorized by law, the owner or any person on behalf of the owner shall be entitled to immediate release and return of the vehicle without the payment of any booting or towing fee or storage charges.
         (.3)   If the Parking Hearing Examiner determines that the vehicle was immobilized or impounded with reasonable cause, the owner may appeal that determination in the manner set forth in Chapter 12-2800, or the owner or any person on behalf of the owner may obtain release of the vehicle by any of the means set forth in subsections (2) and (3) of this Section.
   (2)   The owner or any person on behalf of the owner may obtain immediate release of the vehicle by the payment in full of all delinquent parking tickets issued to any and all vehicles registered in the name of the owner of the vehicle that is to be recovered, booting and/or towing fee and accrued storage charges. Such payment shall constitute a waiver of the right to contest the parking tickets, the tow and/or booting fee and any storage charges. 236
   (3)   The owner or any person on behalf of the owner may obtain immediate release of the vehicle by posting a bond equal to the amount of the unpaid parking tickets issued to any and all vehicles registered in the name of the owner of the vehicle that is to be recovered, booting and/or towing fees and accrued storage fees. Such bond shall be obtained in order to ensure the alleged violator's appearance before a Parking Hearing Examiner as set forth in Chapter 12-2800 and shall be held as collateral until a hearing on the underlying parking violations is completed and a determination of liability is made pursuant to Chapter 12-2800. 237
   (4)   The owner or any person on behalf of the owner may waive the right to an expedited hearing as set forth in subsection (1) or immediate release of the vehicle as set forth in subsections (2) and (3) and await a hearing in due course on the underlying parking violations according to the regular procedures of Chapter 12-2800.
   (5)   Any person found not liable for the underlying parking violations at the hearing pursuant to Chapter 12-2800 or pursuant to any subsequent appeal shall have the right upon presentation of evidence thereof, to immediate return of the vehicle without payment of any booting, towing or storage fees, or to the refund within thirty (30) days of the discharge or acquittal of any bond posted, or booting and/or towing fees and storage charges previously paid.
   (6)   No person shall be permitted to release from any boot or remove from any Official Towing Station any vehicle immobilized or impounded under the provisions of this Chapter except by any of the means described above, or, unless the person found liable has entered into an Installment Payment Plan with the Finance Director's Office pursuant to Chapter 12-2800, and that Office has ordered the release of the vehicle.
   (7)   All notices provided for in this Section shall be given in both Spanish and English.
   (8)   When any impounded vehicle is returned to its owner, or any person on behalf of the owner, such person shall sign a receipt for the vehicle after furnishing satisfactory evidence of his identify and ownership of the vehicle, or agency on behalf of the owner.
   (9)   In addition to any other requirement under this Section 12-2406, if a vehicle has been towed as an abandoned vehicle under this Chapter, its owner, or any person on behalf of its owner may reclaim the vehicle only upon presentation of proof that the vehicle is currently registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles of the state within which its owner resides; if that state requires that motor vehicles registered therein must be periodically inspected to insure roadworthiness, the vehicle must exhibit a concurrently valid sticker or placard attesting to such an inspection in order for the vehicle to be driven; if the vehicle does not exhibit such a required inspection sticker or placard, the vehicle may only be removed by a vehicle licensed to tow or carry other vehicles. 238
   (10)   Disposition of unclaimed vehicles. If the registered owner of a vehicle impounded pursuant to this Chapter or other provision of law fails to reclaim his or her vehicle from an Official Towing Station within fifteen (15) days after the issuance of a notice that the vehicle has been towed and may be reclaimed; and, if notice was sent to a lienholder, the vehicle remains unclaimed more than fifteen (15) days after the issuance of such notice, then, at any time thereafter: 239
      (a)   The Department may declare such vehicle abandoned within the meaning of Section 102 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, 75 Pa. C.S. §§ 101 et seq., and dispose of it 240 accordingly; or
      (b)   If fines, penalties or charges relating to the towing and storage of the vehicle, or any outstanding parking tickets, are owing, the Department or its designated agent may takes such steps as are necessary to recover payment of such fines, penalties, charges or outstanding tickets, including but not limited to auction of the vehicle pursuant to court order.

§ 12-2406.1. Fees and Charges. 241
   (1)   Fees shall be assessed to cover the costs of immobilization and/or impoundment of any vehicle or combinations immobilized or impounded pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter or other provisions of law: 242
      (a)   A one hundred fifty dollar ($150) boot fee and/or a one hundred seventy-five dollar ($175) towing and removal fee for vehicles or combinations under 11,000 pounds; and
      (b)   A one hundred fifty dollar ($150) boot fee and/or a two hundred fifty dollar ($250) towing and removal fee for vehicles or combinations at or over 11,000 pounds up to 17,000 pounds; and

   (2)   Storage charges for the storage of any vehicle or combination impounded under the provisions of the Chapter or other provisions of law shall be calculated: 243
      (a)   At the rate of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each twenty-four hour period or fraction thereof, for the first five (5) days of impoundment, and twenty-five dollars ($25) for each twenty-four (24) hour period or fraction thereof thereafter for vehicles under 11,000 pounds; and
      (b)   At the rate of forty dollars ($40) for each twenty-four hour period or fraction thereof, for vehicles at or over 11,000 pounds up to 17,000 pounds; and
      (c)   At the rate of seventy-five dollars ($75) for each twenty-four hour period or fraction thereof, for vehicles at or over 17,000 pounds.
   (3)   The foregoing charges shall not be assessed against the owner of any vehicle taken into custody by the Department in the course of a criminal investigation, except that such charges shall be assessed if: 244
      (a)   The vehicle is not reclaimed within twenty-four (24) hours of notice to reclaim the vehicle; or
      (b)   The owner of the vehicle is arrested and charged with an offense related to such investigation; provided, however, that, if the owner is acquitted of all charges, or all charges are dropped, the owner shall have the right to reimbursement of such fees.
   (4)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than fifteen dollars ($15) shall be charged to the owner of any vehicle taken into custody by a towing company on behalf of the Department to cover the City's administrative costs related to towing, storage and recovery when the vehicle has been reported stolen to the Police Department or illegally used by a person other than the owner of the vehicle, without his authorization, express or implied. 245
   (5)   No vehicle towed to an Official Towing Station shall be released to its owner, lienholder or anyone claiming a right of possession until all outstanding fees, charges and fines are paid. Any person who disputes the validity or the amount of such fees, charges or fines may demand an expedited hearing pursuant to Section 12-2406; except that, for vehicles towed pursuant to provisions of law other than this Chapter, such hearing may only be had after the Police Department determines the vehicle is available to be reclaimed, and the only issue at such hearing shall be the validity and amount of the fees, charges and fines. Prior to such determination, a vehicle may only be reclaimed pursuant to Police Department regulations or to the Rules of Criminal Procedure. 246
   (6)   No more than one hundred five dollars ($105) shall be charged to the owner of any vehicle to cover the costs related to towing and recovery when the vehicle has been reported stolen to the Police Department or illegally used by a person other than the owner of the vehicle, without his authorization, express or implied.
