This duty extends to and includes any abutting sidewalk area and one-half (½) the width of abutting alleys, from the property line to the center line of the alley.

(a) Prohibited Storage: (1) No person owning or having custody of any junked or inoperable vehicle may store such vehicle on private property, or on any sidewalks, streets or alleys, within the city, except as otherwise permitted under this section; (2) No person owning, occupying or in control of any private property within the city may store any junked or inoperable vehicle on the owned or occupied property, or on any abutting sidewalks, streets or alleys, except as otherwise permitted under this section; (b) Permitted Storage: This section shall not apply to any junked or inoperable vehicle stored on private property if the vehicle: (1) Is on the premises of a business enterprise operated in a lawful place and manner and licensed by the City under chapter 19 of the Tucson Code, and the storage of the vehicle is necessary to the operation of the business enterprise; or; (2) Is lawfully enclosed within: a. An enclosed garage or other permanent building lawfully constructed of opaque materials without openings, holes or gaps other than doors and windows; b. A carport, and an opaque car cover designed for that purpose (and not including tarps, bed sheets, plastic sheeting, or similar materials) completely covers the body of the vehicle; or c. The rear yard or side yard and screened by any fence, wall or barrier, not less than five (5) feet in height, constructed of opaque materials which screens it from view from any adjacent properties and the public right-of-way, and is equipped with self-latching gates or doors. Such fence, wall or barrier must comply with section 16-12(e). (c) Persons Responsible: Whenever the city finds that any junked or inoperable vehicle is stored on private property or on any abutting sidewalks, streets or alleys in violation of this section, the persons responsible for the violation include the recorded owner, occupant or person in control of the private property, as well as the registered owner or custodian of the vehicle.
10/10/2019 T.C. Ch. 16, Sec. 16-33. PLACING REFUSE UPON THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER OR PUBLIC PROPERTY; ILLEGAL LITTERING OR DUMPING PROHIBITED; PERSONS RESPONSIBLE. (a) No person shall place any refuse upon any private or public property not owned or under the control of that person. In addition to any penalty that may be imposed by this chapter or the Tucson Code, such person shall be liable for all costs for the removal, abatement or enjoining of the refuse. (b) No person shall litter, discard refuse, or allow refuse to be discarded except at the places and in the manner authorized in Chapter 15 of this Code. (c) The following persons are jointly and individually liable for a violation of subsection (b): (1) The resident of the property upon which the debris has been discarded; (2) The person who discarded or allowed the debris to be discarded; (3) The person who owns or maintains a refuse container in which refuse is improperly placed or discarded; and (4) The person who generated the refuse.
