Start with property authorization
Philadelphia Code §9-605 governs private property towing. Written authorization, signage and photographs belong in the process discussion. Explain your relationship to the property and identify the authorized contact. A message from someone inconvenienced by a parked vehicle should not be treated as a complete set of instructions on its own.
Describe the exact location and circumstances. Discuss what authorization and documentation are needed for the particular request rather than assuming a general arrangement covers every situation.
Talk through the signage
O’Hara & Sons supplies signs for private property towing. Ask about arranging signs for your property and share any signage already in place. A driveway, a small customer lot and a larger business parking area can present different practical questions. Explain the entrances, parking restrictions and who manages the space so those details can be reviewed before service is requested.
Keep the request documented
Discuss photographs and the written authorization for the specific removal. Have a reachable property contact available to answer questions about the request. Ask how the vehicle destination and follow-up information will be communicated. This page describes the process topics to address; it does not establish a legal determination about a particular vehicle or promise that every requested removal can proceed.
GOOD QUESTIONS.STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Do you supply towing signs?
Yes. O’Hara & Sons supplies signs. Call to discuss your property and the arrangements needed before requesting a removal.
Can a vehicle be removed just because I call?
The request needs a discussion of authorization, signage, photographs and the circumstances. A call alone should not be treated as confirmation that a removal is approved.
Who should contact you for a business lot?
The property owner, manager or another authorized contact should call with the address and details. Explain your role so the correct authorization can be discussed.
