The Common Council finds that inoperative, junk or abandoned vehicles which are located in any place where they are visible from a public place or public right-of-way are detrimental to the safety, morals, health and welfare of the general public and a detriment to the economic welfare of the city by producing a scenic blight which is adverse to the maintenance and continuing development of the city, and such vehicles are declared a nuisance. The office of City Inspector and the Police Department are given primary responsibility for the removal, storage and disposal of abandoned vehicles as defined herein.
