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 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.
