It shall be unlawful for any owner, possessor
or occupant of lands in the Village to permit, to store or to place

[Amended 3-26-1985 by Ord. No. 6-85]
It shall be unlawful for any person to park
or leave standing any machines, automobiles or parts of automobiles

or without permission of the owner, possessor or occupant of such
lands, where such are in any way exposed to public view.
Upon complaint of any person or on his own motion,
the Chief of Police shall cause an investigation of the condition
complained of to be made.
