So i haven’t really looked at other towns, but West Seneca has this little law that states: _JUNK_ _VEHICLE — Any_ _vehicle, including a trailer, which is without a current inspection sticker, insurance, valid license plate or plates and/or is in either a rusted, wrecked, discarded, dismantled, partly dismantled, inoperative or in an abandoned condition._ and is also touched upon in another “code” as : _F.__A junked_ _vehicle may not be parked, stored or left in the open._ now yes, i can see why such a law is in place , so that people aren’t littering their lawn with old rusted out cars that they just collect with no real intentions of finishing them… and the law isn’t somthing thats actually inforced until someone complains about it. So about a month ago my dad gets a court summons in the mail, about having “junk vehicles” on the property. He has my old Ford Probe that he was doing body work on, runs/drives and is all in one piece, sans the rear tails, and on the SIDE of the garage (which is concrete, its not sitting in the weeds etc) my dad has his old buick under a cover, not an eyesore by any means. The Probe was just taken to another relatives garage, so thast not an issue. So now my questions are, according to the exact wording of that law taken from the town code… 1. how do they know its not registered (since obviously, its under a cover, they don’t even know WHAT car it is) 2. how is that considered “out in the open” Does anyone else agree? and is it somthing worth fighting? he has to go back to court this weekend, when he went in 2 weeks ago they told him that if the “junk vehicles” weren’t removed or in the garage that he’d be charged $50/day. Whats gonna happen to get the Buick in the garage, is my s14 will go outside, COVERED just like the Buick was, with plates on it. What the hell is the difference? _edit_ and 2 other random points… who complains about somthing like that in the dead of winter when its covered in snow anyways? and the judge is a huge prick, my dad asked to have till april 1st and the judge told him no :bloated: ---

this happened to me before too, I got a warning in the mail. I put a cover on the car which was my White civic which IMO was far from an eye sore. My dad went down to the town and said we put a cover on it. Never had any complaints again. ---

usually they say that if it is for sale, that it is ok to have. So I slapped for sale signs on the sides of my cars and never had any further complaints. Maybe that is a possibility for you? ---

Shit just pisses me off doesn’t the town have more important things to worry about? I told him to try telling them that the one car is gone and bring a picture of the covered Buick and see what they say ---

Maybe that is a possibility for you? Nope, they specifically said it doesn’t count if you put a for sale sign on it. Basically a bunch of houses on our block got these notices, one was some older lady up the street with an old lincoln, and i noticed the day we got that letter she had a for sale sign on it… its still sitting there and i doubt it’ll be moved by the weekend, curious what happens with that. Best part is they won’t tell you who filed the complaint ---

under a cover makes it legal. they cant summons you for a covered vehicle. Also if you have the car on a registered trailor they cant touch it. It happened to me before with my race car, sitting on the trailor infront of where I was saying. They slapped a tow away on it, and we called it in. They asked if the trailor was registered, We proved it was… the issue went away. The town is just money hungry, slap some forsale signs on it. Keep it covered. ---

A guy in my old neighborhood kept getting the cops called on him (and everyone else on the block including myself) by some old shitbag for having an unregistered car. So he parked his huge registered trailer diagonally across the yard, and he will park the most haggard half-parted out cars on it. Problem solved. The code enforcement guy acknowledged that the guy was an asshole, and told me to cover my car. The problem went away. BTW your neighbor needs to subscribe to a few dozen magazines this week, under the “pay later” option. 😉 ---

i understand that most towns have this, thats not my point of this thread 😉 what i want to know is how is it any different for me to park my car, in the same exact spot his is in, with the same exact cover on it. and how do they even know whats under the cover in the first place. its a law that is so loosely written that is bullshit ---
