On Tuesday December 6, 2016, Andy McKeever composed an article on iBerkshires with the following details:  “Keep up with auto inspection stickers or you may be in violation.  Mayor Linda Tyer submitted a petition that adds verbage to the junk vehicle code indicating any vehicle lacking a valid inspection label would be illegal to house on properties beyond 48 hours. The petitions where presented to the Ordinance & Rules Committee without discussion, the initiative was okayed to return to the full council.  The Fire Dept. apparently has issues in the past attempting to cite owners for storage of junk cars. The cities code has prohibited owners from retaining them for a period exceeding 48 hours. All abandoned, wrecked, junked, dilapidated, non-functioning or unregistered vehicles, unless they maintain a junk dealer license.

The law did not apply any restriction on an auto that may be registered & still running but has an expired or otherwise sticker that is not valid. These citations are customarily given to land owners storing several junk vehicles on the premises. Citations for those violating the ordinance are $50 for the 1st offense, $100 for the 2nd, and $300 for the 3rd. It is unlikely that the Fire Dept. would be delivering citations those circumstances. Inspections are to instruct property owners and citations are a final resort. And it is not likely that the inspectors would be searching around the city for markers on simply a vehicle or two in a driveway.

To stay current those inspection stickers still need to be valid. The alteration is small but it is not the 1st time this year that the order has been issued. One scrap site in Westfield has the cars are parted out & resold.  Fire inspection team brought them before the Board for buying & selling old vehicles without a car dealer license. The board finally determined that it was not in violation of state law since the parts were not being sold from the Pittsfield site since the purchases were all for scrap vehicles that the license properly covered and the vehicles are not the sole business. In 2015, the junk vehicle rule inspired charges against former candidate for mayor Craig Gaetani. He was alleged to have threatened a woman in the Fire Dept’s inspection bureau about a case of scrap vehicles. In that particular circumstance he supposedly called requesting the dept. to remove junk vehicles that were illegally positioned on a property he owned and the exchange got heated — leading to criminal charges.”  The complete story is available here.
