Abandoned cars are inconvenient, eyesores, and dangerous

Is there a law regarding abandoned cars on the streets of Weehawken? On Highwood Terrace, there are two of them within 30 feet of each other. Highwood Terrace!!! A busy street that needs every parking place it can get.
Around the corner on Hauxhurst is another abandoned car. They’re all eyesores, have flat tires and rusting bodies, and can be dangerous. On June 18 an abandoned car in the Meadowlands went up in flames.
How many abandoned cars does Weehawken have and what can we do as a community to get rid of them? Cleaning them up makes the streets look better and gives taxpayers more parking places.
Win/win.
Please advise on how to clean up this otherwise beautiful town.
