other foodstuffs are exposed for sale.
Live poultry or fowl shall not be displayed for sale on any
street, sidewalk or on any premises so as to cause a public nuisance,
nor shall any empty returnable or other poultry crates be likewise
stored.
The Health Officer, if he deems it necessary, may order relocation,
alteration or elimination of any chicken coop, pigeon or other fowl
or poultry house, runway, stable, doghouse or animal pen in ordering
compliance with this article or for violation thereof.
