An owner operating or causing to operate a junkyard pursuant to a license issued under § 136 of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York shall apply to obtain an operating permit from the Code Enforcement Officer within 60 days of the effective date of this chapter. If the junkyard does not meet the requirements of this chapter and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, an operating permit shall be granted with the condition that such junkyard be brought into compliance with said requirements within one calendar year from the date of issuance. If at the end of such time the junkyard does not comply with said requirements, such owner shall cease and desist from maintaining a junkyard, and all junk, including portions thereof, shall be removed from the premises by such person at his/her expense.
