8.10.070 Destruction and removal—Required.
   A.   It is unlawful for any responsible party owning, occupying, renting, managing or controlling any real property in the City to cause or permit any weeds, brush, or dry vegetation, or to place, cause or permit any garbage or material likely to become easily ignited, to be or remain on such real property in the City or on portions of the streets that adjoin such property.
   B.   The accumulation and storage of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles or parts thereof on private or public property not including highways creates a condition tending to reduce the value of private property promoting blight and deterioration, to invite plundering, to create fire hazards, to constitute an attractive nuisance to create a refuge for rodents and insects and to be injurious to the health, safety and general welfare.
   C.   Therefore, the presence of an abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicle or part thereof, on private or public property not including highways, except as expressly hereinafter permitted, is declared to constitute a public nuisance which may be abated as such in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
