Englewood vs Mahwah

What counts as an abandoned vehicle in Englewood?

A vehicle that cannot move under its own power or lacks current New Jersey plates and inspection. Cars under active repair within a reasonable timeframe are not considered abandoned.

Can the city tow a junk car off my Englewood property?

Yes. After 10 days written notice and a hearing opportunity, the Chief of Police can tow the vehicle and charge towing costs as a lien against your property.

How long can a disabled car sit on a Mahwah street?

A disabled vehicle can remain on public property only during an emergency and never longer than 48 hours. After that, Mahwah Police can ticket the owner and have the vehicle towed.

Does this rule apply to a non-running car parked in my own driveway?

Section 3-3.1 specifically targets public lands. Inoperable vehicles on private property are addressed by the Township's property maintenance and zoning rules instead.
