(A) Exterior storage of non-operating or non-licensed vehicles. No person in charge of or in control of premises, whether as owner, lessee, tenant, occupant or otherwise shall allow any partially dismantled, wrecked, junked, discarded or otherwise non-operating motor vehicle to remain on such property longer than ten days; except that this section shall not apply to historic motor vehicles registered and licensed in conformance with KRS 186.043, property where such use is allowed under zoning ordinances, or other applicable laws, or to any vehicle in an enclosed building or so located upon the premises as not to be readily visible from any public place or from any surrounding private property. This section shall further not apply with regard to any vehicle on the premises of a business enterprise operated in a lawful place, other than in a residential district, and operated in a lawful manner, when the keeping or maintenance of such vehicle is necessary to the operation of such business enterprise; or with regard to a vehicle in an appropriate storage place or depository maintained in a lawful place and manner by the county government or any other public agency or entity. Nothing in this chapter shall be taken to lessen the requirements of the county nuisance ordinance (Chapter 91 of this code of ordinances) and when this chapter is in conflict, the stricter of the two shall prevail.
(B) Duty of maintenance of private property. No person owning, leasing, occupying or having charge of any premises shall maintain or keep any nuisance thereon, nor shall any such person keep or maintain such premises in a manner causing substantial diminution in the value of the other property in the neighborhood in which such persons are located. Nuisances shall consist of, but shall not be limited to, abandoned buildings, abandoned mobile homes and garbage dumps.
