A public nuisance is one which affects an indefinite number of persons, or the residents of a particular locality, or people coming within the extent of its range or operation, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal. Such public nuisance endangers the health, safety and welfare of the community and is dangerous and detrimental to the public health, may violate the laws of the City and/or State as well as obstructs the community from reasonable and comfortable use of property.
A nuisance may arise from the unreasonable, unwarrantable or unlawful behavior associated with the property, either real or personal, which hinders the neighboring community and the general public from enjoying the common and public rights enjoyed by the general community in like areas where no such nuisance exists.
