(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to park or store any disabled, dismantled, derelict, inoperative, abandoned or discarded machinery, vehicle, boat, or parts thereof, or junk upon any street, alley, highway or other public place, or on any unimproved or improved lot or parcel of land within the City, except as otherwise set forth in this division.

(b)

Temporary parking or storage of abandoned or inoperative property shall be permitted upon private property during such time as repairs are actually being performed upon such property by the owner or the owner's agent. Such repairs shall be accomplished within a 72-hour period from the time of such parking or storage, and the repairs shall be performed and conducted in such a manner so that the adjacent neighbors or residents will not be annoyed by the noise created by such repairs or any unsightly condition of the property upon which such repairs are being performed.

(c)

It shall be unlawful for any person in charge or control of any property in a residential or commercial section of the City, whether as owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or otherwise, to allow any dismantled, partially dismantled, inoperative or discarded machinery, vehicle, or parts thereof, boat, or parts thereof, scrap metal or junk to remain on such property for a period of time longer than 72 hours.
