Trenton — Ch. 8 Art. III Property Maintenance § 8-125
Storage yards and areas
Operative Text
All open storage yards and open storage areas shall be completely obscured from view from surrounding property by a solid screen fence not less than six feet in height.
Under Trenton Ch. 8 Art. III § 8-125, any open storage yard or open storage area must be fully hidden from view from neighboring properties by a solid screen fence that stands at least six feet tall. The rule applies to all such outdoor storage spaces and leaves no room for partial screening — the fence must completely block the view. This is a property maintenance standard aimed at ensuring that stored materials do not create visual nuisances for surrounding properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating open storage yards or areas in Trenton should ensure that a solid, opaque fence of at least six feet in height fully surrounds and screens any such space from neighboring properties, as required by § 8-125. Compliant operators typically inspect their fencing regularly to confirm there are no gaps, damaged sections, or areas where stored materials remain visible from adjacent lots or streets. Maintaining documentation of fence installation and upkeep can support a showing of ongoing compliance with this property maintenance standard.
