(A) Every junk dealer shall keep and confine the goods and materials received or held by him or her within the limits of the premises for which the license is granted, and none of the same shall be placed or be allowed to remain upon any adjoining property, sidewalk, street or alley only except as may be necessary in the loading or unloading of the same and in any event the same shall be promptly removed therefrom.
(B) All areas of junk yards wherein junk is piled, kept or stored adjacent to or abutting a public street, sidewalk or alley shall have erected thereon upon or near the boundary line nearest such public street, sidewalk or alley, a suitable fence or wall of board, metal, mesh wire or masonry construction of sufficient height, and in all cases at least four feet high, and of a sufficient solid structure as to hide all junk from view from the outside. All junk shall be placed thereon so that said junk will not encroach or be upon such public street, sidewalk or alley or endanger persons or property there on or passing along the same. All entrances to such area from the public street or alley shall be equipped with a suitable door or gate.
(C) All junk shall be kept or stored in such a manner as to make possible control and eradication of rats and vermin and to minimize the danger of fire. Owners and operators of junkyards shall use reasonable measures to the end that the junk yard shall not become or be infested with rats and vermin to the extent that public health, safety and welfare are endangered.
(D) Any and all open fires started in junk yards for the purpose of burning junk or waste materials shall be tended at all times and shall be confined so as not to endanger property or persons or create a nuisance and shall be allowed to burn only during daylight hours.
