A. Every building wherein any animal is kept within the town shall be constructed of such material and in such manner that it can be kept clean and sanitary at all times and free from objectionable odors.
B. Every building, if located within two hundred feet (200') of any tenement or apartment house, hotel, restaurant, boarding house, retail food store, building used for educational, religious, or hospital purposes or residence other than that occupied by the owner or occupant of the premises upon which such animal is kept, shall be provided with a watertight and flytight receptacle for manure, such size as to hold all accumulations in such manner as to prevent it from being or becoming a nuisance, and shall be kept covered at all times except when open during the deposit or removal of manure or refuse. No manure shall be allowed to accumulate on such premises except in such receptacle.
C. No building where animals are kept shall be maintained closer than forty feet (40') to any tenement or apartment house, hotel, restaurant, boarding house, retail food store, building used for educational, religious or hospital purposes or residence other than that occupied by the owner or occupant of the premises upon which such animal is kept.
D. The health or pound officer, upon complaint of any person, shall inspect any structure or place where an animal is kept, and may do so on his own initiative. He may issue any such reasonable order as he may deem necessary to the owner of such animal to cause such animal to be kept as provided in this chapter or in a manner so as not to constitute a nuisance. He may make a complaint before the municipal judge against any person for violation of any provision of this chapter or of any such reasonable order; but this shall not abridge the right of others to make such complaint. (1985 Code; amended 1988)
