None of the vehicles are not registered, are they then not permitted to be stored on property clearly visible to the street and therefore a nuisance vehicle?

Vehicles do not have to be licensed if they are on private property. The city requires that they crank and run under their own power. Vehicles may not be on the public roadway without current tags.

according to code, as long as the vehicle can run and operate under it OWN power, they can have as many as they want and DOES NOT have to be registered. Now if they were sitting on the edge of the road right-of-away, meaning at least one tire on the pavement the the city
could have them tag and removed. HOWEVER, I totally agree they are a nuisance, they harbor unwanted rodents and should not be allowed. I mean people cannot keep a motor home on their lot without STRICT LIMITATIONS but the city will allow this use car junk yard mess to go on...

Thanks for clarifying. I did do some looking into the City code and unfortunately came to the same end as well. Indeed they are a nuisance, but I guess we just have to live with it. I'm sure if they were next door to a prominent City Council chair those cars (or the tenants) wouldn't be there long.

What we must do now is start flooding Councilman Mitch Colvin (D-3) whose email address is mitch.colvin@ci.fay.nc.us with a request for him to immediately start to work on having this city code changed. Mr. Colvin is a good man and I am sure he will assist us as much as he possibly can.

The vehicles at this property have been reinspected and were found to be in compliance with city ordinances.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
