the unreasonable, unwarranted and/or unlawful use of property, which causes inconvenience
or damage to others, either to individuals and/or to the general public. Nuisances
can include noxious smells, noise, burning, misdirection of water onto other property,
illegal gambling, unauthorized collections of rusting autos, indecent signs and
pictures on businesses and a host of bothersome activities. Where illegal they can
be abated (changed, repaired or improved) by criminal or quasi-criminal charges.
If a nuisance interferes with another person's quiet or peaceful or pleasant use
of his/her property, it may be the basis for a lawsuit for damages and/or an injunction
ordering the person or entity causing the nuisance to desist (stop) or limit the
activity (such as closing down an activity in the evening).
