(a)
It shall be unlawful for the owner, operator or driver of any motor vehicle with an empty weight exceeding 6,500 pounds, any trailer, semitrailer or any motor home to park such or permit such to be parked on any street or in any alley that is along a primarily residential or mixed residential-commercial block. This subsection shall not apply to:
(1)
Motor homes, motor vehicles, semitrailers or trailers which are:
a.
Being actively loaded or unloaded;
b.
Used by persons issued permits from the Chief of Police;
c.
Used by persons to whom the Department of Public Works has issued permits for work in the streets;
(2)
Motor vehicles or trailers which are parked along a primarily residential or mixed residential-commercial block while the owner, operator or driver is engaged in the actual performance of contractual work at a nearby property; or
(3)
Passenger cars or pickup trucks used exclusively for noncommercial purposes. Proof that a passenger car or pickup truck described in a complaint, summons or warrant has an empty weight exceeding 6,500 pounds shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that such passenger car or pickup truck is not used exclusively for noncommercial purposes.
