This car at Heck and Benson has been parked there for 4 months. It is missing the rear license plate. Imagine if that corner house were yours. The police have not acted. Blogfinger photo 9/28/17
There will be a public hearing on this proposed ordinance at the Oct 5 meeting.
The definition of impounded is “seize and take legal custody of something, especially a vehicle, goods, or documents because of an infringement of a law or regulation.”
If a car does not have an up-to-date registration, it can currently receive a summons and can be towed.
The car above is missing the rear license plate, but the inspection sticker is up-to-date. We don’t know if it has a current registration. There are no tickets under the wipers.
There is a warehoused vehicle on Delaware Avenue which the out-of-town owner moves slightly every once in a while. We also know that some people store a car on Ocean Avenue to use as a beach locker.
HERE IS ORDINANCE 17-40. There is a second page which has to do with “presumption of abandonment” but this is the main part. Click on it for easier reading:

Running out of energy
A lack of love or empathy
Leave me lonely”
