(A) No person shall store or permit to be stored on any lot or premises an automobile or motor vehicle which is dismantled, inoperative or unlicensed, for a period of more than the 15 days, unless the same is kept or stored in a completely enclosed, authorized and permitted building or garage on such lot or premises. Any such motor vehicle shall be deemed inoperative when the lack or failure of the engine, transmission, wheels or other mechanical part results in the vehicle being not usable for transportation purposes. The Police Department is authorized to serve written notice either personally or through certified mail, with return receipt requested, on the property owners or persons in possession of any such lot or land upon which an unlicensed or inoperative motor vehicle is stored contrary to the provisions hereof. Such period of 15 days shall commence to run the next day following the service of such notice. Any person who has been notified or who is the owner of, in charge of or in possession of any such lot or land on which any such vehicle is stored, and who shall fail to remove the same after notice, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree and shall be imprisoned for not more than 30 days and fined not more than $250 with each daily violation of this section constituting a separate offense.
(B) The provision of this section shall be applicable to all districts of the village, except those districts in which the storage, repair or rehabilitation of automobiles is expressly permitted under the terms and provisions of the village zoning ordinance.
