§ 512-26. Penalty for Violation of Section 511-31; Impoundment.

Whoever violates any provision of Section 511-31 shall be guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; if the offender has been previously convicted within the past year of violating Section 511-31, the offender shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree; if the offender has been twice previously convicted within the past two years of violating Section 511-31, the offender shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree and shall be fined not less than $500 and imprisoned not less than 30 days. Such minimum fine and term of imprisonment may be reduced or waived only upon a finding of the court that such reduction or waiver is required by the interest of justice.

Upon a finding of guilt, the court may order the owner of any vehicles stored or parked in violation of Section 511-31 to remove all such vehicles to a place where they may be lawfully stored or parked, or the court may order all such vehicles impounded and direct the police to cause them to be towed.
