Section 54-71 of Pelham's Code of Ordinances limits the number of unregistered or uninspected vehicles that may be parked on residential property to one at any given time.

Operators and owners of residential rental properties in Pelham should be aware that § 54-71 sets clear limits on vehicle storage and repair activity on their lots. A compliant property generally has no more than one unregistered or uninspected vehicle on site at any time, and that vehicle is kept intact—not stripped, dismantled, or in major disrepair. Landlords commonly address these standards in lease terms and conduct periodic property inspections to ensure that neither tenants nor other occupants are performing major vehicle overhauls or body work on the premises.

Keeping more than one unregistered or uninspected vehicle on site, or performing major mechanical or body work on any vehicle, may constitute a code violation that could affect the tenancy. Tenants who believe a neighbor or landlord is violating this provision may consider contacting Pelham's local code enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Westchester County housing regulations.
