   (a)   The owning, keeping or harboring within the City by any person of any dog or other animal which by trespassing upon the premises of others, or which destroys or damages property, or which in any way disturbs the peace and quiet of the City and its inhabitants, or is a menace to the health, comfort or safety of the public, may be declared a nuisance upon proper order by a court before whom any complaint concerning such animal is heard.
   (b)   Any animal which scratches, digs, urinates or defecates upon any lawn, tree, shrub, plant, building or any other public or private property, other, than the property of the owner or person in charge or control of such animal, is hereby declared to be a nuisance.
