It is the conclusion of the Borough Council of the Borough of
Lodi that unrestricted casual sales within the Borough, such as garage
sales, rummage sales, lawn sales, attic sales, etc., have a negative
impact upon the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Lodi.
The negative impact is a result of parking and traffic violations,
litter, neighborhood disturbances and improper posting of signs. It
is the Borough Council's desire to allow the continuance of such
sales but to restrict those sales in such a manner as to reduce their
impact upon the residents of Lodi.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
GARAGE SALES
Any sale entitled "garage sale," "yard sale," or any similar
casual sale of tangible personal property held upon a driveway or
a lawn of a private residence. "Flea markets," as they are commonly
known, are not covered by this chapter.
HOUSEHOLD
Any location or address for a private residence.
This chapter shall be enforced by the Department of Building
and Inspections of the Borough of Lodi.
Any individual, household or property owner violating any of
the provisions of this chapter shall pay a fine not exceeding $1,000
or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both.
