That's what they do in Providence RI, and they'll bring in their own
truck to impound them if necessary.  It's enforced selectively, but
when inspectors came to my driveway for another reason they had to
avert their eyes from my parts van -- and advised me privately that
if it was still there in 30 days they'd have to take official
notice.  My neighbors, back when everything was falling apart, were
extremely kind and tolerant about the condition of the driveway etc.
for which I'm extremely grateful.

Yours,
