Clause 97

Any occupier of any house or premises who keeps or allows to be kept for more than forty-eight hours, or otherwise than in some proper receptacle, so as to be a nuisance to his neighbours, any dirt, dung, bones, ashes, night-soil, filth or any noxious or offensive matter in any part of such premises or house, or suffers such receptacle to be in a filthy or noxious state, or neglects to employ proper means to remove the filth therefrom and to cleanse and purify the same, shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and to a further fine not exceeding twenty dollars for every day during which the offence is continued.

The cause of the nuisance may be removed by the Director who may recover the expenses thereby incurred from the occupier or owner of the house or premises in the manner provided under section 152 of this Ordinance.
