Newark Zoning Code generally allows residents to store RVs, boats, and trailers on their property in side or rear yards, subject to setback rules. Long-term storage in the public right-of-way or on front lawns may trigger §660.07 (junk vehicle) or property maintenance violations.
Newark does not have a dedicated RV-parking ordinance. The combined effect of the Zoning Code (Ord. 08-33), §660.07 (junk vehicles), and the Property Maintenance Code (Ch. 1448) is that recreational vehicles can be stored on a residential lot if (a) they are licensed and operable, (b) not stored in the front yard where they would degrade the residential character, and (c) not parked on the public right-of-way longer than permitted under the parking-time rules (typically 72 hours under §452.03). Unregistered or inoperable RVs/boats stored uncovered in the open more than 72 hours become 'junk vehicles' under §660.07.
Front-yard or right-of-way violations are typically property maintenance citations (Ch. 1448) - fourth-degree misdemeanor under §698.02 (up to $250). Junk-vehicle citations under §660.07 are also fourth-degree misdemeanors and the city may impound.
