[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Nyack 1-28-1965 by L.L. No. 1-1965 (Ch. 31 of the 1972 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
Abandoned, junked, discarded and unlicensed motor vehicles upon
privately owned property within the Village of Nyack is detrimental
to the safety, the health, and the public welfare. It constitutes
an attractive nuisance to children and is a peril to their safety.
It is a source of vexation and annoyance. It depreciates the value
of neighboring properties. It is a fire hazard and a source of fire
and explosions. The preservation of public health and protection of
property and the elimination of public peril compels the Board of
Trustees of the Village of Nyack to legislate on this matter. It is
hereby declared that the adoption of this law has for its purpose
the effective termination of such practices.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation, either
as owner, occupant, lessee, agent, tenant, or otherwise, to deposit,
or cause or permit to be deposited, an abandoned, junked, discarded
or unlicensed motor vehicle on any private land, within the corporate
limits of the Village of Nyack.
If the provisions of the foregoing section are violated, the
Village Clerk shall serve written notice, either personally or by
mail, upon the owner, occupant or person having charge of any such
land, upon which any such motor vehicle is deposited to comply with
the provisions of this law. The notice shall be in substantially the
following form:
|
"To the owner, occupant, or person having charge of lands known
on the Tax Map of the Village of Nyack as Map No. _____ Block No.
_____ Lot No. _____ or address __________
|
|
Notice is hereby given that an abandoned, junked, discarded
and unlicensed motor vehicle has been found deposited upon the above
described property in the Village of Nyack. This motor vehicle must
be removed within five days from the date of this notice.

Failure or refusal to comply with this notice on or before the
expiration of the said five days from the date of this notice, the
Village of Nyack, acting through its duly authorized agents, servants,
officers and employees, will enter upon your land and remove said
