Medical / Mechanical Hardship Dismissal
Wilmington PVB, Newark, Dover, and Middletown parking divisions all maintain administrative-discretion authority to dismiss citations on documented showing of medical or mechanical emergency. ER discharge, AAA call log, mechanic invoice — submitted with a brief written request — generally yield administrative dismissal before any court date.
Legal basis
Inherent municipal hardship authority; Wilmington City Code §37-205 (PVB dismissal authority)
