THE PCC BOOK OF PARKING · PART VII · 8 MODULES · BUILT IN FULL

Keeping It Alive

The operator's part: the fifty years after opening day. The inspection walks, the war with water, the repair-or-replace decision, and the risk file -- insurance, safety, security, crime, and the networks holding it all together. This is where the book earns its keep with the people who run parking for a living.

Source chapters: Ch 13 maintenance practice (Racey, Cochran, Bromiel, Gross) · Ch 18 risk and security (Stanley, Marcus, Monahan, B. Lozano; Sachs)
Mechanisms on display: the inspection checklist engine (Module 56, live), the durability stack embedded across parts (34 → 56), the wheel-stop canonical embedded with its claims context (25 → 60), and a fact-check hold on Module 58's case-study figure.
