Section 5.04.180 Nuisances Prohibited.

No business or establishment, whether or not licensed, shall be so conducted or operated as to constitute a nuisance in fact; and no building, vehicle, structure, yard, lot, premises, or part thereof, shall be used, kept, maintained, or operated in connection with any business or establishment so as to occasion any nuisance, or so as to be dangerous to life or detrimental to health. Any charge of conducting or operating a nuisance may be made under this Chapter or under the provisions of any other City Ordinance prohibiting nuisances, including Chapter 8.24 of this Municipal Code, as amended.

No building or structure, utilized, constructed, or maintained in connection with any business or occupation shall evidence an unsanitary, unsafe, or dangerous condition.

No substance, matter, or thing of any kind whatever which shall be dangerous or detrimental to health shall be allowed to exist in connection with any business or occupation or be used in any work or labor performed in the City.

It shall be the duty of the occupant of every building, structure, or premises used or maintained in connection with any business to cause to be removed at his own cost and expense at least once each week all refuse produced therein; provided, however, that such removal shall occur more frequently as necessary to prevent nuisances from odor, vermin, and/or litter.

The standard refuse container required by this code shall be a receptacle of not less than twenty (20) nor more than thirty-two (32) gallons capacity, of impervious material and sturdy construction, with a tight-fitting cover, and equipped with handles properly placed to facilitate handling. The occupant of every building, structure or premises used or maintained in connection with any business shall provide and maintain in good condition and repair a sufficient number of refuse containers for the temporary storage of all refuse accumulating between collections. All refuse which is placed for collection service outside any building or structure must be kept in standard refuse containers.

Every person owning or controlling any hotel, restaurant, cafe or retail food establishment where more than thirty-two (32) gallons of refuse is normally produced weekly shall cause all garbage to be placed in sanitary refuse containers and shall cause all substances deposited in such containers to be removed at least bi-weekly from the business premises and to be disposed of at their expense.
