[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Woodlynne 6-9-1988 by Ord. No. 1988-6 (Ch. 89 of the 1976 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is hereby determined and declared that the placing, abandonment, leaving, parking, storing or maintaining of any uninspected, unregistered, unlicensed, disabled, dismantled or inoperable motor vehicles, boats, campers, machinery or mechanical equipment out of doors on any private or public lands in the Borough of Woodlynne is contrary, inimical and detrimental to the public welfare in that such articles so placed, abandoned, left, parked, stored or maintained attract or may attract persons of tender years who, being so attracted, may play in and about the same and may be injured and in that such articles so placed, abandoned, parked, stored or maintained out of doors, exposed to the elements, deteriorate and in themselves are unsightly and, deteriorating, become more unsightly and tend to attract vermin and rodents and, by reason thereof, depreciate the value of properties in the neighborhood where they are located and in the Borough as a whole, thereby creating health, fire and sanitary hazards, all of which are contrary and inimical to the public welfare.
No person or corporation shall place, abandon, leave, keep, park, maintain or permit or suffer the placing, abandoning, leaving, keeping, parking or maintaining of any articles described in § 619-1 of this chapter out of doors upon any private or public land in the Borough of Woodlynne for more than 10 days, unless the same is garaged or stored in an enclosed building.
If any vehicle, boat, machinery or mechanical equipment or other article described in § 619-1 shall be placed, abandoned, left, kept, parked or maintained on private or public lands for 10 days or more, it shall be presumed that the owner or tenant in possession of said lands, or both, left, placed, kept, stored, parked or maintained the same there or permitted or suffered it to be so left, placed, kept, stored, parked or maintained upon such premises.
A. 
The police or Code Enforcement Official may cause a notice to be served upon the owner or tenant in possession of said lands on which the violation exists to abate the violation by removing the vehicle, boat, machinery or mechanical equipment or other articles constituting a violation of this chapter from the premises or by storing the same within an enclosed building within 10 days after service of such notice, which notice may be served upon such owner or tenant, if he resides in the Borough, personally or by leaving it at his usual place of abode with some member of his household over the age of 14 years.

If any such owner or tenants shall reside outside of the Borough, such notice shall be served upon him by certified mail addressed to him at his usual residence according to the tax records of the Borough of Woodlynne. Said owner or tenant, or other person, shall so abate the violation within the time fixed by the notice.
A. 
Each day that any such person or corporation shall continue to keep, maintain, park, store, place or abandon such vehicle, boat, machinery or mechanical equipment or other articles prohibited by this chapter upon such premises after the time contained in the aforesaid notice shall expire shall be deemed to be a separate offense and violation of this chapter.
