No person shall store in the open or in public on private property any dismantled, partially dismantled, inoperative, wrecked or junked truck or motor vehicle of any kind or any worn out, cast-off or discarded auto parts. Each day that prohibited articles are stored contrary to the provisions of this article shall constitute a separate offense.
This article shall not apply to duly licensed junk and secondhand dealers and licensed auto dealers. The provisions of MGL c. 90, §§ 22B and 22C relating to abandoned vehicles shall prevail over this article wherever applicable.
The Building Inspector or his designee shall tag the prohibited vehicle with a legal notice ordering the owner to abate said violation or remove the vehicle. The Building Inspector may, after five days, order the vehicle or vehicles towed and stored at the expense of the owner of the vehicle or at the expense of the landowner on whose land the prohibited vehicle is found. If the costs of towing and/or storage exceed the value of the vehicle, the Building Inspector may order the vehicle sold, destroyed or disposed of in a manner he deems appropriate.
