Newark CO §660.07 bans depositing, storing, or maintaining junk motor vehicles on any premises except in licensed industrial junk yards. A 'junk motor vehicle' is one left uncovered in the open on private property for more than 72 hours.
Section 660.07 (Storage of Junk and Junked Vehicles) defines a 'junk motor vehicle' as any motor vehicle left uncovered in the open on private real property without being housed in an enclosed garage or other suitable structure for more than 72 hours, with the property owner's permission, unless the parcel is a licensed junk yard or scrap metal facility under Ohio R.C. 4737.05-4737.12. Vehicles can be stored only inside a fully enclosed structure (garage or barn) in residential zones. The city also impounds vehicles abandoned on public streets under §404.07 (Impounding Procedures; Redemption), with redemption available through Newark Police.
A §660.07 violation is enforced under §698.02 - typically a fourth-degree misdemeanor (up to $250 + 30 days jail) with each day a separate offense. Impoundment fees and storage charges under §404.07 are owed in addition.
