Freeburg — Ch. 29 Property Maintenance Policy § 29-1-37
DECLARATION OF NUISANCE
Operative Text
All junk vehicles, whether on public or private property and in view of the general public, are hereby declared a nuisance, and any person who violates any provision of this Code pertaining thereto or who fails to obey a notice which states that such person is to dispose of that vehicle under his control shall be subject to the fines and penalties as provided for in Sections 29-1-48 through 29-1-53 .
Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-37, junk vehicles visible to the public — whether located on public or private property — are officially classified as a nuisance. Anyone who violates the related provisions of the Code, or who ignores an official notice requiring them to dispose of a vehicle under their control, becomes subject to the fines and penalties outlined in Sections 29-1-48 through 29-1-53. The rule applies broadly, covering both property owners and any other person who has control over such a vehicle.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-37 generally ensure that no junk vehicles are left visible on their properties, whether in driveways, yards, or other areas accessible to public view. Compliant operators typically respond promptly to any official notices requiring disposal of a vehicle under their control, as failure to do so can trigger the penalty provisions found in Sections 29-1-48 through 29-1-53. Maintaining clear records of vehicle removal or disposal can help demonstrate compliance if a question arises.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants should be aware that Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-37 can apply to any person who has control over a junk vehicle on the property, not just the property owner. If a tenant receives an official notice to dispose of such a vehicle, ignoring it may expose that tenant to the fines and penalties set out in Sections 29-1-48 through 29-1-53. Those who believe a notice was issued in error or have questions about their obligations may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the full Code provisions for additional context.
