Storage of certain motor vehicles on private property
Operative Text
A. No person in charge of or in control of premises, whether as owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or otherwise, shall allow any abandoned, partially dismantled, damaged, wrecked, junked, discarded or otherwise inoperable motor vehicle, whether or not bearing thereon currently effective registration plates, tabs or stickers, to remain on such property for longer than 10 days, except as hereinafter provided. B. This regulation shall not apply with regard to any motor vehicle that is: (1) Wholly enclosed within a building located on said premises or so located upon the premises as not to be visible from any public place or from any surrounding or adjoining private property. (2) Located upon premises situated in a district zoned for business or E1 use, or where a business use may lawfully be conducted on such premises. (3) Maintained or stored in an appropriate storage facility or depository maintained in a lawful manner by the Village or other public agency or authority. (4) The only such vehicle on the premises, provided such vehicle is covered with an appropriate covering so that no part of the vehicle is visible. C. The Superintendent of Buildings or Code Enforcement Officer of the Village designated by the Mayor to enforce the provisions of this chapter, upon determining that a motor vehicle in a condition described in § 112-10A is being kept or maintained upon private property in violation of the provisions hereof, shall cause notice to be delivered by certified or registered mail or in person, to the owner and to the lessee, tenant, occupant or other maintainer of said premises, directing that said motor vehicle either be removed from said premises or relocated thereon in such manner as not to be visible from any public place or from any surrounding or adjoining private property, not later than five days after such notice is served. (1) In the event that the remedial action specified in § 112-10C is not taken within five days after such notice is served, the Village may enter upon such premises and remove said abandoned, partially dismantled, damaged, wrecked, junked, discarded or otherwise non-operating or inoperable motor vehicle and to dispose of the same in the same manner provided for disposal of a vehicle that is abandoned or found on a Village street. (2) The cost of such removal and disposal and any towing or storage charges incurred by the Village in connection therewith shall be billed to the record owner of said premises, as appears from the then-current real property tax roll and, if not paid within 30 days thereafter, shall be assessed upon the real property from which said motor vehicle, or any part thereof, was removed from, pursuant to this section. Said cost shall constitute a lien and charge upon the real property on which it is levied until paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged and shall be collected by the Village Treasurer in the same manner provided by law for the collection of delinquent taxes.
Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-10 prohibits anyone who controls private property — whether as an owner, tenant, or occupant — from allowing an abandoned, wrecked, junked, or otherwise inoperable motor vehicle to remain on that property for more than 10 days. Several exceptions exist, including vehicles kept entirely out of public view, vehicles on commercially zoned lots, and a single covered vehicle whose parts are fully concealed. If a violation is found, the Village can issue a notice requiring removal or concealment within five days, and if that deadline is missed, the Village may remove the vehicle itself and bill the property owner for all associated costs, which can become a lien on the real property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Manorhaven Code § 112-10, property owners and managers generally ensure that any inoperable, damaged, or junked vehicle on their premises is either removed, stored inside a fully enclosed structure, or kept entirely out of sight from public places and neighboring properties within the 10-day window the ordinance allows. Operators of residentially zoned properties in particular should be aware that the single-vehicle exception requires a complete, appropriate covering with no part of the vehicle visible. If the Village's Superintendent of Buildings or Code Enforcement Officer issues a notice under § 112-10C, the responsible party typically has five days to comply before the Village may step in, remove the vehicle, and assess all removal and storage costs as a lien against the property.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
As a tenant or occupant, § 112-10 of the Manorhaven Code places responsibility on you as well as the property owner to ensure that inoperable, wrecked, or junked vehicles are not left on the premises beyond the 10-day limit. If you receive a certified or registered mail notice — or a personal notice — from the Village's Code Enforcement Officer directing removal or concealment, that notice triggers a five-day compliance window that applies to you directly. Tenants who have questions about their obligations or rights under this provision may wish to review the full ordinance text or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing and property regulations.
