A public health nuisance is any activity or failure to act that adversely affects the public's health. It also includes any source of contagion, filth, or disease. Some examples include clandestine labs, human or animal feces, food debris, accumulation of household trash, sewage, abandoned well, animal carcasses, and insect presence. These examples may occur in rental property as well as in open spaces and individual properties.
