The outside storage of abandoned or junk vehicles on privately owned properties within the Town of Perinton is a source of annoyance to members of the public and to owners and occupants of adjacent land. The outdoor storage of such vehicles on private property is unsightly and constitutes an attractive nuisance to children and a peril to their safety. This legislation is intended hereby to protect public health and safety and to curb the deterioration of the community environment.
No property shall be used for the outside storage of abandoned, uninspected, unlicensed, inoperative, dismantled, partially dismantled, discarded or junked vehicles except as may be otherwise permitted in this Code.
No dismantled, partially dismantled or parts of vehicles shall be stored outside on any property within the Town except as otherwise permitted within this Code.
No person shall abandon any vehicle within the Town of Perinton and no person shall leave any vehicle at any place within the Town for such time and under such circumstance as to reasonably cause such vehicle to appear to have been abandoned.
Any junk/abandoned vehicle or used motor vehicle parts, as defined in this chapter, may be removed from the premises on which it is or they are located by order of the Town Board in the manner hereafter provided.
The Building Inspector or a Code Enforcement Officer, upon detecting a junk/abandoned vehicle or used motor vehicle parts, shall serve a written notice ordering the removal of the same from the premises on which it is located within 10 days from the date of such service. Such notice shall also contain a description of the premises, a statement as to the location thereon of a junk/abandoned vehicle or parts, and reference to this chapter and to the fact that the location of such junk or abandoned vehicle or parts on such premises is in violation of this chapter.
At the expiration of 10 days after the service of such notice, if such junk/abandoned vehicle or parts have not been removed, the Building Inspector or a Code Enforcement Officer shall report such fact to the Town Board, in writing. Such report shall recite the violation, the notice given as required hereunder and the failure to comply therewith and may include or refer to photographs of such junk/abandoned vehicle and of the premises on which it is located. Such report shall be entered in the official minutes of the Town Board by the Town Clerk, and any such photographs shall be filed in the Town Clerk's office. The Town Board shall thereafter hold a hearing upon 10 days' prior notice to the owner to determine whether, in fact, the vehicle is junk/abandoned. Such notice of hearing shall include a statement that the purpose of such hearing is to receive evidence regarding the violation of this chapter.
If, after said hearing and consideration of all evidence, the Town Board determines that a violation of this chapter exists, the Town Board shall arrange for the removal and disposal of such junk/abandoned vehicle or used parts in a manner which it deems reasonable. Any expense to the Town in accomplishing such removal may be assessed by the Town Board to the real property from which such junk/abandoned vehicle was removed, and the expense so assessed shall constitute a lien and charge on the real property on which it is levied until paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged, and may be added to a subsequent tax bill for the property.
Notices required by this chapter shall be served as follows:
By personal service on any of the owners, occupants or person in control of the premises on which the junk/abandoned vehicle is located; or
By regular mail, mailed to any of the owners of said property at his or her last known address as shown on the latest completed assessment roll of the Town and by conspicuously posting a copy of such notice on the premises on which the junk/abandoned vehicle is located.
