In a recent move to enhance the aesthetic and safety standards within the city, Loretto officials have enacted new regulations concerning the presence of junk vehicles within city limits. Under the newly established ordinance, a junk vehicle is defined as one that has sustained damage or is defective to the extent that it is no longer operable or legally permissible to drive on public streets and highways.
The ordinance stipulates that these vehicles are prohibited from being parked or left unattended on any streets or highways for any duration. Furthermore, it specifies that junk vehicles cannot be parked, stored, or maintained on private property for a period exceeding 14 days. Should individuals fail to comply with these regulations, they will face a penalty of $50, in addition to any applicable court costs. Notably, each day that a violation persists will be treated as a separate infraction, potentially leading to cumulative penalties for ongoing non-compliance.
