Is it illegal to abandoned or keep vehicles (inoperative, dismantled, or wrecked) on private property (other than at the business of a licensed dismantler or a licensed junkyard)?
Per Oakland Municipal Code 10.64.170, it is a misdemeanor for any person to abandon, park, store, or leave or permit the abandonment, parking, storing or leaving of any licensed or unlicensed vehicle or vehicle part, which is in an abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative condition upon private property or public property within the City for a period in excess of 72 hours unless such vehicle or vehicle part is completely enclosed within a building in a lawful manner where it is not plainly visible from the street or other public or private property.
