§ 20-131. Storage prohibited; exceptions.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person, either as owner, occupant, lessee, agent, tenant or otherwise, to accumulate, store or deposit, or cause or permit to be accumulated, stored or deposited, any abandoned, junked or discarded motor vehicle upon any public or private property within the city, unless the same is completely enclosed within a building, or unless it is in connection with a business enterprise lawfully situated and licensed for the same. Each day any such vehicle is accumulated, stored or deposited in violation of this article shall constitute a separate offense.

(b)

The absence of a license plate for the current year and/or the absence of a current motor vehicle registration shall be prima facie evidence that such vehicle is abandoned, junked or discarded. The presence of a current license plate or registration shall not in and of itself exempt any motor vehicle from becoming in violation of this section.
