Abandoned vehicles regulated under NY VTL 1224 (public property) and local property maintenance codes (private property). Rensselaer County towns typically define abandoned as 48-96 hours unattended on public way or inoperable on private residential property.
NY VTL 1224 allows police to tow vehicles left 96+ hours on public highways. Town property maintenance codes prohibit inoperable/unregistered vehicles on residential property unless stored in enclosed garage. Troy city code enforces 30-day notice before tow from private property. Contact Rensselaer County at (518) 270-2900 for enforcement.
Abandoned vehicle on private property: $100-$500 plus towing costs. Failure to remove after notice: daily continuing fines.
