Abandoned and inoperable vehicles are addressed under Irvington property maintenance code (Ch. 460) and NJ state law (N.J.S.A. 39:10A). 72-hour rule applies on public streets.
Irvington defines abandoned vehicles as those left on public property for an extended period (typically 72 hours) or inoperable vehicles stored on private property visible from the street. Vehicles without current registration, flat tires, or significant damage may be classified as abandoned. Code enforcement issues a notice to the registered owner before towing. On private property, vehicles must be in an enclosed garage or behind an opaque fence. Certain exemptions may apply for vehicles actively being repaired with a valid permit.
Notice period typically 72 hours to 10 days. Towing and storage at owner expense ($150 to $500+). Additional fines for repeat violations.
