The ordinance

Hobart’s nuisance chapter defines a junked vehicle as any dismantled, abandoned, wrecked or other motor vehicle that cannot lawfully or physically be operated. Parking or storing one in the open, public or private, is unlawful except in properly zoned areas. On notice, the vehicle’s owner and the landowner abate together by getting it into a fully enclosed garage or out of city limits. If the city abates, the costs become a lien on the tax bill.

Trucks and weight

Trucks and trailers over 11,000 pounds gross are barred from city streets that are not state highways, except for delivery, pickup or work in the city. They also may not park on or within 200 feet of a dwelling. A work truck parked at home is the usual case.

Where Hobart sits

Hobart is on Gary’s southern border and lies northeast of Merrillville, about 31 miles from Chicago. SR 51 and US 6 run through it, and US 30, the Lincoln Highway, forms the retail strip on its south side. The 1993 annexation of the south-side retail strip means some businesses there use Merrillville addresses.
