A. The prolonged emission of odor that noticeably exceeds the odor threshold on any adjacent residential property is a violation. "Prolonged" means, but is not limited to, any period of more than five minutes in any hour.

B. The emission of noxious odors outdoors determined by medical practitioners to be causing discomfort, pain or severe breathing inhibitions to any person at any time is a violation and may be determined by the city manager to be a public nuisance. Thereafter, the director of building and safety is empowered to order the immediate disconnection of public utilities which in any way contribute to such emissions and to take necessary and prudent action to contain such emission. He may enter the property for that purpose.

The costs of such emergency work shall be paid by the property owner or person responsible, pursuant to the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings.

It is a violation of this code for any person to cause or allow the migration of sprayed paint, sandblasting compounds or similar industrial materials, including toxic insecticides, or any other noxious substance onto any public property or onto the private property of any other person without making reasonable attempts to prevent the migration of such substances.
