Vehicles: Abandoned, Junked and Unlicensed
The outdoor storage of abandoned, junked, discarded, or unlicensed vehicle or vehicles or parts or pieces thereof on privately owned property within the Town of Henrietta is detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the community; it constitutes an attractive nuisance to children and in many ways imperils their safety. Such storage also endangers the person and property of all members of the community, since fuel tanks still containing gasoline or gasoline fumes may easily explode; the junks are replete with broken glass and sharp torn metal edges and points and generally are stored or abandoned with batteries containing harmful acids. These are but a few of the obvious sources of danger found on such vehicles. Such storage, moreover, is unsightly; depreciates not only the property on which it is located but also the property of others in the neighborhood and the Town generally and certainly constitutes a blight on the Town's landscape. Furthermore it is found that the storage of an excessive amount of legal vehicles in residential areas constitutes an attractive nuisance to children. Such excessive storage is unsightly and depreciates not only the property on which it is located, but also the property of others in the neighborhood and the Town generally. The control of the outdoor storage of abandoned, junked, discarded, or unlicensed vehicle or vehicles or parts or pieces thereof on privately owned property as well as excessive storage of legal vehicles on privately owned residential property within the Town of Henrietta is, therefore, regulated for the preservation of the health, safety and general welfare of the community. The intent of this chapter is to establish a legal procedure for the removal of these abandoned, junked, discarded, or unlicensed vehicle or vehicles or parts or pieces thereof as well as excessive storage of legal vehicles on privately owned residential property where they are found in the Town in violation of this chapter.
