Derelict and junk motor vehicles constitute a hazard to the health and welfare of the people of the city in that such vehicles can harbor noxious diseases, furnish shelter and breeding places for vermin, and present physical dangers to the safety and well-being of children and other citizens. Derelict and junk motor vehicles also constitute a blight on the landscape of the city and, therefore, are a detriment to the environment.
