When I called in a complaint on the cars in my neighbors yard, I expected the Police to respond immediately and remove those cars. What happened?
The Law requires that the violator be given an opportunity to sign a “Notice to Abate a Public Nuisance”. After notice is given, the law requires the vehicle to be removed from the property; placed in an enclosed garage, or repairs must be commenced. The violator has 15 days to comply with the Law. (If the violator is repairing the vehicle(s), he/she can have an additional 15 days as long as repair receipts can be shown.) Many times the violator will avoid contact with the Police Officer which delays service of the notice and subsequent removal of the vehicle(s). (Please note that the Impound Officer will continue to attempt contact until the notice is served and the case is completed.) PLEASE BE PATIENT.
