The ABQ Integrated Development Ordinance §14-16-6 and Bernalillo County Code §30 (Nuisance Abatement) prohibit the accumulation of junk, debris, inoperable vehicles, and disorganized outdoor storage visible from the public right-of-way.

Front-yard storage of household goods is not permitted as ongoing condition. Signs must be removed within 24 hours under IDO §14-16-5-12.
