Vehicular nuisances
Operative Text
A. No person shall at any time park, store or otherwise maintain any junk vehicle on any lot or parcel of land in the Village, except fully within the confines of a commercial garage or storage yard lawfully located upon such premises; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed to prohibit the temporary parking or storage of such a vehicle in a private garage or private residential garage while it awaits disposal or repair off the premises, and provided further that the duration of such temporary storage is not unreasonable and does not pose any significant or undue risk to the health or safety of persons or property. B. No person shall park, store or otherwise maintain any legally inoperable vehicle or any electively inoperable vehicle on any lot or parcel of land in the Village for more than seven days, except in the showrooms or upon the inventory storage lots of those parcels lawfully being used for the sale or resale of such vehicles, or except within the confines of a commercial garage or storage yard or a private garage or private residential garage located on any other parcel; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not be deemed to prohibit the temporary parking or storage of such a vehicle in the fenced and paved open rear yard or side yards of any residential parcel improved by a one-family or two-family dwelling, but having no garage on its premises, for the use of its occupants, and provided further that the duration of such temporary storage is not unreasonable and does not at any time prevent, impede or otherwise interfere with ingress to and egress from the legal entryways or exits of any nearby buildings or accessory buildings, whether they be located upon the same lot or any adjoining or neighboring parcel.
Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 112 § 112-11 establishes two related rules about vehicles on village properties. First, junk vehicles may not be kept outdoors at all — they must be inside a lawful commercial garage or storage yard, though a private garage may hold one temporarily while it awaits disposal or repair, as long as the storage period is reasonable and does not create health or safety hazards. Second, legally or electively inoperable vehicles cannot remain on any lot for more than seven days unless they are inside a garage, on a licensed dealer's lot, or — for one- or two-family homes without a garage — temporarily stored in a fenced and paved rear or side yard, so long as the storage does not block access to any building entrances or exits.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Manorhaven should be aware that § 112-11 places strict limits on where and how long non-functioning or junk vehicles may remain on their parcels. Compliant operators generally ensure that any junk vehicle is kept entirely within a lawful commercial garage or storage yard, and that inoperable vehicles are removed or enclosed within the seven-day window unless a recognized exception clearly applies. Landlords overseeing residential properties without garages should also confirm that any temporarily stored inoperable vehicle in a rear or side yard does not obstruct ingress or egress to any building on or adjacent to the parcel.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 112-11, tenants living in one- or two-family homes without a garage have a limited right to store an inoperable vehicle in a fenced and paved rear or side yard, provided the storage duration is reasonable and access to nearby buildings is never blocked. If a landlord or neighbor believes a vehicle violates this provision, the Village of Manorhaven's code enforcement authority would generally be the body to contact regarding a complaint or inspection. Tenants who receive a notice related to § 112-11 may wish to review the specific exceptions in the ordinance and consult a tenant-rights organization or housing attorney to understand how those exceptions might apply to their circumstances.
