No person shall keep, store, maintain, abandon or leave on any parcel of land or on any premises in the Borough any junk motor vehicle, junk machine, any motor vehicle not currently used for transportation and not licensed for the current year or any machinery or equipment of any nature not being currently used on such parcel of land. The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to machinery if the machinery is stored in an enclosed building. At no time shall any vehicle of any type undergo major overhauling, including body work, except at an approved automobile establishment.

Whenever the Construction Official or Zoning Officer shall determine that the presence on any lands or premises of such junk motor vehicle or junk parts or machinery is in violation of paragraph a above, the Official shall give written notice to the owner or tenant requiring that such junk vehicle or machinery be removed therefrom or placed in a garage or other building within five days after receipt of notice. The notice may be served personally or by certified mail. Upon failure to comply with the notice, the owner or tenant shall be liable to the penalty provided in this chapter.

Imposition of the penalty referred to in paragraph b above shall not constitute a bar to the Borough to declare such lands or premises where a violation exists to be a nuisance, and to cause removal or abatement of such nuisance in accordance with law and applicable ordinances and regulations.
