nuisance shall include any motor vehicle which is not registered and/or

[Ord. 1-93, 1/6/1993]
If the owner of grounds on which motor vehicles are stored does
not comply with the notice to abate the nuisance, within the time
limit prescribed, the Township of Lower Oxford shall have the authority
to take measures to correct the conditions and collect the cost of
such corrections plus 10% of all costs. The Township, in such event
and pursuant to its statutory or otherwise authorized police powers,
shall have the right and power to enter upon the offending premises
to accomplish the foregoing.
