Article 33 - Miscellaneous Rules
1210 - Unattended Motor Vehicle.

(b) A driver may, for the purpose of getting away from the place of
standing, move another vehicle which is so placed he cannot get his
vehicle out; provided, however, that immediately thereafter he shall
reset the brake and, if on a grade, turn the front wheels to the curb or
side of the highway. This privilege is subject to the limitation set
forth in subdivision (e) of section twelve hundred two.
(c) Towing agencies, which remove vehicles unlawfully parked on
private property at request of the owner of the premises and without the
written consent of the owner of the vehicle, shall immediately notify
the local police station house having jurisdiction over the area where
such vehicle was unlawfully parked, of the description of the car which
was removed, and the time of removal.
