A layman's overview as to what constitutes a nuisance |
| There are two basic types of nuisances.
These are private and public nuisance actions. A private nuisance means
there has been a loss of the use or enjoyment of property without an actual
physical invasion of that property. An action for a physical invasion of
property is known as a trespass action. An example of a private nuisance
would be where an individual failed to keep his dog kennel clean, causing
the next-door-neighbors to experience unpleasant odors when they left their
windows open and also prevented them from spending time in their backyard. A public nuisance is one that has more far reaching effects. It has the ability to affect the health, safety, welfare, or comfort of the public in general. Examples of a public nuisance would be a factory that emitted bad odors or a racetrack that produced loud noise. Nuisances can often be both public and private. For instance, the lights from a baseball field may shine directly into the home of a neighboring property owner, causing a private nuisance. At the same time, the baseball field might cause excessive noise and brighten up the rest of the neighborhood, requiring the homeowners to keep their windows and drapes shut on summer evenings. This would constitute a public nuisance.
