(a) (1) For purposes of this section, “junk motor vehicle” means any motor vehicle meeting the requirements of RC 4513.63 (B), (C), (D), and (E) that is left uncovered in the open on private property for more than seventy-two (72) hours with the permission of the person having the right to possession of the property, except if the person is operating a junk yard or scrap metal processing facility licensed under the authority of RC 4737.05 through 4737.12, or regulated under authority of the City; or if the property on which the motor vehicle is left is not subject to licensure or regulation by any governmental authority, unless the person having the right to the possession of the property can establish that the motor vehicle is part of a bona fide commercial operation; or if the motor vehicle is a collector’s vehicle.
(2) This section shall not prevent a person from storing or keeping, or restrict a person in the method of storing or keeping, any collector’s vehicle on private property with the permission of the person having the right to the possession of the property; except that a person having such permission may be required to conceal, by means of buildings, fences, vegetation, terrain or other suitable obstruction, any unlicensed collector’s vehicle stored in the open.
(3) The Police Chief or his or her designee may send notice, by certified mail with return receipt requested, to the person having the right to the possession of the property on which a junk motor vehicle is left, that within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice, the junk motor vehicle either shall be covered by being housed in a garage or other suitable structure, or shall be removed from the property.
(4) No person shall willfully leave a junk motor vehicle uncovered in the open for more than ten (10) days after receipt of a notice as provided in this section. The fact that a junk motor vehicle is so left is prima facie evidence of willful failure to comply with the notice, and each subsequent period of thirty (30) days that a junk motor vehicle continues to be so left constitutes a separate offense.
(RC 4513.65)
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on a second offense, such person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree; on each subsequent offense, such person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.

(a) The Chief of Police may send notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owner of private property, and unless the property is unoccupied, to the person having the right to possession of the private property, if different, on which a motor vehicle meeting the requirements of divisions (B), (C), (D), and (E) of RC 4513.63 is left. Each notice sent pursuant to this division shall describe the motor vehicle by make, if known, and manufacturer’s serial number, if known, and shall state that the motor vehicle shall be deemed to be on the property without permission unless the owner or person having the right to possession of the property notifies the Chief of Police to the contrary within ten (10) days of receipt of notice. Each notice sent to a private property owner shall be addressed to the owner as shown in the records of the county recorder for Cuyahoga County and sent to the tax mailing address on file with the county treasurer for Cuyahoga County, except that if the county treasurer has no tax mailing address on file, the notice shall be sent to the tax mailing address listed on the last recorded deed for the property. Each notice sent to the person having the right to possession of the private property, if different from the owner, shall use the address of the private property on which the motor vehicle is left. If all applicable notices are sent and are claimed and the owner or person having the right to possession of the property fails to notify the Chief of Police within ten (10) days of receipt of notice that the motor vehicle is on the property with permission, it shall be deemed to meet the requirement of abandonment on private property described in division (A) of RC 4513.63.
(b) In the event that a given notice sent pursuant to division (a) of this section is returned to the sender unclaimed, the Chief of Police may send the notice by regular U.S. mail to the same person that failed to claim the certified mail notice, using the same address described in division (a) of this section. If each person that failed to claim a notice sent pursuant to division (a) of this section is sent the notice by regular U.S. mail and such notice is not returned by the postal authorities with an endorsement showing failure of delivery, and if the owner or person having the right to possession of the property fails to notify the Chief of Police within ten (10) days of the sending of notice that the motor vehicle is on the property with permission, then the motor vehicle shall be deemed to meet the requirement of abandonment on private property described in division (A) of RC 4513.63.
