[1982 Code § 169-1; Ord. #333]
It is hereby determined and declared that the placing, abandonment,
leaving, keeping or storage out-of-doors of any motor vehicle not
currently in use for transportation and not licensed for the current
license year or any other unused machinery or equipment on public
or private lands in the Borough is contrary and inimical to the public
welfare in that such articles so placed, abandoned, left, kept or
stored attract or may attract persons of tender years who, being so
attracted, may play in and about them and be injured in so doing,
and in that such articles so placed, abandoned, left, kept or stored
out-of-doors, exposed to the elements deteriorate and in themselves
are unsightly and, deteriorating, become more unsightly and are detrimental
to and depreciate the value of properties in the neighborhood where
they are located and in the Borough as a whole.

This section is adopted for the preservation of the public health,
welfare and safety in that old or deteriorating vehicles, machinery
and other junk are not merely unsightly but are attractive to young
children who may be injured when playing in the neighborhood, and

foul water. It is the objective of this section to remove the causes
of such effects.
