A vehicle owner/operator who believes that
a violation notice has been issued in error may request a
review of the conditions for issuance of the violation notice
with the Facility Manager. A review must be conducted in
person, by mail or by telephone, within 21 days of the issuance
of the violation notice, or within 10 days of the mailing
of a Notice of Delinquent parking Violation. The decision
by the Facility Manager is final.
D. Towing and immobilization of
vehicles
Facility Management will tow or immobilize
vehicles which have three (3) or more outstanding (unpaid)
parking violation notices. Immobilization is achieved via "boot." Vehicles
are usually immobilized. If a vehicle has been previously
immobilized, subsequent violations may result in towing.
Vehicles presenting an immediate hazard, such as when parked
in an emergency/fire access lane, are towed. Vehicles parked
on any surface not specifically marked for the legal parking
of a motor vehicle, such as lawns, open spaces, sidewalks,
etc., are towed. Vehicles are towed by a bonded towing service.
Vehicles are immobilized or towed and
impounded until all penalties are paid. In addition to the
penalties due, the owner/operator of the vehicle which has
been towed or immobilized must pay the costs of towing and
storage or an immobilization fee. Towing costs normally range
from $60.00 to $90.00. The vehicle immobilization fee is
$25.00.
Whittier Law School and its employees
assume no liability for loss or damage of any kind resulting
from towing, impounding or storage.
