Whenever and wherever a condition shall exist which, in the opinion of the Health Officer having jurisdiction over the area or his authorized representative, constitutes a public health nuisance, it shall be his duty to notify in writing the person responsible for its continuance of the character of the public health nuisance and to give such person a reasonable length of time to abate it. However, whenever and wherever a nuisance is of a character as to require, in the interest of the public health, immediate abatement or discontinuance, the local health director may bring a proceeding for immediate action in the court of the county for the abatement of such nuisance, and the court may, upon hearing and for good cause, enjoin the continuance of the condition creating the nuisance, irrespective of all other remedies at law.
