Legal Question in Real Estate Law in District of Columbia
Real Estate Law
The Removal and Disposition of Abandoned, Dangerous and other Unlawfully Parked Vehicles Emergency Reform Act of 2003, statutes DC Codes 50-2421.03, 50-2421.05 and 50-2421.10 covers what aspect of a situation where 2 vehicles are not dangerous, not abandoned and parked on private property, behind a 6'-3'' foot high privacy fence and fully covered with car covers and not exposed to the public view. What options do I have when the DC Government's, Parking Services Administration comes and cut my locks off and hauls my 2 cars off, damaging my property during this heist?

Re: Real Estate Law
Apparently these vehicles were required under DC Code 50-2421.03A. to be housed within an enclosed structure and shielded from the vision of neighbors on adjoining properties, irrespective of whether they were considered abandoned or dangerous.
The car covers, apparently, were not considered sufficient by code enforcement bureaucrats to meet the requirements of this DC statute which apparently explains why your vehicles were seized and trucked off to be sold by the city at auction.
(You, of course, were presumably given the required
notice of infraction before they came for the vehicles.)
