A. It is unlawful for the owner or keeper of any dog either willfully or by failure to exercise due care, to permit such dog to commit a public nuisance by defecating upon private property without the permission of the owner or custodian thereof, upon the public sidewalk, in or upon any public street or any other public place. It shall be a defense to a charge under this section that the owner or keeper of the dog possessed the appropriate device for removal of waste and did immediately remove and properly dispose of the waste; provided, that this subsection shall not apply to a person whose visual or physical condition is an impediment to compliance with this subsection.

B. It is unlawful for any owner or keeper to allow waste to accumulate on said owner’s or keeper’s property to the extent that neighbors are adversely affected by odor or runoff. (Ord. 2955 Att. A, 2015)
