A public nuisance consists of doing any act, or permitting or
allowing any condition or thing to exist, occur, or accumulate upon
any property within the City that is injurious to health, indecent,
or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property,
so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property
and endangers the health or safety of others.
