§ 18-220. Declaration of nuisance.

Latest version.

Junked or abandoned vehicles which are located in any place where they are visible from a public place or public right-of-way are detrimental to the safety and welfare of the general public, tending to reduce the value of private property, to invite vandalism, to create fire hazards, to constitute an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors, and are detrimental to the economic welfare of the city, by producing urban blight which is adverse to the maintenance and continuing development of the city, and such vehicles are therefore declared to be a public nuisance.

(Code 1978, § 12-5; Code 1993, § 30-215)
