ABQ ROA §14-16-6 (property maintenance provisions within the IDO) requires yards remain free of accumulated junk, debris, and outdoor storage. Garage sale items must be removed from public view after each day's sale. Repeat blight is actionable by Code Enforcement.
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. Garage sale merchandise falls under these rules once sale hours end — tables, racks, and unsold items must be moved into the garage or out of public view daily. 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. Chronic yard-sale-like conditions (weeks of visible merchandise) are classified as blight and result in escalating enforcement. Bernalillo County Code Enforcement (via 311 in city or direct county line) handles complaints, typically issuing a 10-day abatement notice before citations.
Merchandise visible after sale hours: $50 to $200 nuisance/blight citation under IDO §14-16-6-9. Repeat violators: escalating fines up to $500 per day. County unincorporated areas: Nuisance Abatement lien possible for severe cases.
