Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 190 § 190-57
Junked or abandoned vehicles
Operative Text
A junked, abandoned or unlicensed vehicle may not be parked, stored or left in the open unless it is necessary for the operation of a business enterprise lawfully situated on the premises.
Section 190-57 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances prohibits junked, abandoned, or unlicensed vehicles from being parked, stored, or left in the open on a property. The only recognized exception is when such a vehicle is genuinely necessary for the lawful operation of a business located on the same premises. This rule applies broadly to open outdoor areas and is not limited to any particular type of residential or commercial property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Newburgh Code § 190-57, compliant property owners and managers ensure that no junked, abandoned, or unlicensed vehicles are left in open areas of their properties unless a legitimate, lawfully operating on-site business requires them. Operators of rental properties routinely include lease provisions that prohibit tenants from storing such vehicles on the premises, and they conduct periodic inspections to confirm compliance. Documenting the business-necessity exception—if it applies—with records of the on-site business's licensing and operational status is a practice commonly associated with maintaining compliance.

Section 190-57 of the Newburgh Code of Ordinances means that tenants generally do not have the right to park or store junked, abandoned, or unlicensed vehicles in open areas of a rental property. If a landlord or neighbor believes a vehicle you have stored violates this provision, you may want to review whether any business-necessity exception applies to your situation. Tenants facing enforcement action or disputes related to this ordinance can seek guidance from local tenant-rights organizations or consult with a licensed attorney familiar with Newburgh municipal code.
