of an unregistered and uninspected vehicle for more than 15 days.You are directed to either register and have
inspected the two vehicles ,remove the vehicles, or apply for the relief spelled out in the ordinance within 15
days. Failure to address this issue will result in daily Municipal fines and further enforcement actions. If you
have any questions,please contact me directly.
