The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to the maintenance, operation or conduct of a parking lot or garage by the City or any agency thereof or to premises used exclusively for the dead storage of motor vehicles or any parking space which is maintained solely for the accommodation of employees, patrons and/or invitees of the owner or lessee of said parking space, provided that no parking fee is charged, nor shall they apply to parking lots maintained solely for tenants of multiple dwellings.
Each applicant for such license shall file with the City Clerk a written application in such form and containing such information as may be prescribed by the City Clerk.
Every applicant for a license to maintain, conduct or operate a parking lot or garage shall file with the City Clerk a schedule of rates showing the prices charged for daily, weekly and monthly parking or storage of motor vehicles.

Every licensee, at the time of accepting a motor vehicle for parking or storage, shall furnish to the driver of such vehicle a distinctive claim check acknowledging the receipt of the vehicle and showing the date of such acceptance. Every such claim check shall contain the name of the licensee and his license number.

Vehicles shall be stored or parked on the licensed premises in such manner as shall be prescribed by the rules and regulations of the City Clerk, for the purpose of safeguarding persons and property and permitting adequate inspection of the premises.
Every license issued pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to suspension or revocation upon the failure of such licensee to pay or satisfy any judgment secured against him by anyone who parked or stored a motor vehicle in the parking lot or garage licensed hereunder, provided that such judgment was secured in a court of competent jurisdiction against the licensee for acts of commission or omission with regard to the business maintained, operated or conducted by him pursuant to the license issued hereunder.
The City Clerk may promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
Any license may be suspended or revoked by the City Clerk, and any application for a renewal thereof denied, for the failure of the licensee to comply with any applicable provision of law or any rule or regulation duly promulgated by the City Clerk.
