or tracks. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the said phrase
shall include automobiles of every type and description, trailers, trucks,
motorcycles and motor driven equipment of any kind, except that any vehicle,
commonly known as an office trailer or a trailer or camp car which is tenanted
or occupied for office, residence or dwelling purposes shall not be included
within the phrase "motor vehicle" as here defined.
No person shall park, leave or store any inoperable motor vehicle on
any public lands or premises except in case of emergency and upon immediate
notification thereof to the Municipal Police Department and then for a period
of not more than 24 hours.
No person shall park, leave, store or maintain any inoperable motor
vehicle for a period of more than 30 days upon any private lands or premises.
No owner or occupier of any private lands or premises shall permit or
suffer any inoperable motor vehicle to be parked, left, stored or maintained
on his or her lands or premises for more than 30 days.
This chapter shall not apply to lawfully operated junkyards, or to motor
vehicles located or stored in garages or other enclosed buildings.
Notwithstanding any provisions in this chapter contained, the Chief
of Police or, in his absence, the ranking officer in the Municipal Department,
may, upon considerations involving the public safety wherein it is deemed
that no hazard to the public exists, grant a temporary permit for parking,
leaving or storing of any inoperable motor vehicle upon any public lands or
premises or upon the highways, streets or avenues within the Borough of Middlesex
for a period not exceeding 10 days from the date of issuance of such temporary
permit.
Any person who shall violate any provisions of this chapter shall, upon
conviction thereof, be liable to a fine of not more than $200 or imprisonment
for a term of not more than 90 days, or both, in the discretion of the Magistrate.
The imposition of a penalty or penalties, for any violation of this
chapter shall not excuse the violation nor permit it to continue. All persons
convicted of violating any provision of this chapter shall correct or remedy
such violation within five days from the date of conviction. If said violation
is not corrected or remedied within such time, then each 10 days thereafter
that the prohibited condition is continued shall constitute a separate offense
hereunder.
