within the limits of said Township.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Any activity or use of property that is injurious to health
or an obstruction to the free use of property so as to interfere with
the comfortable enjoyment of life or property by others or which could

[Amended 6-11-1985 by Ord. No. 124]
In the event any person, persons, company or corporation shall
violate any of the provisions of this chapter, the Board of Commissioners
of Aleppo Township shall order the removal of any such nuisance from
public or private property after 15 days' written notice to the owners
or occupants of the premises to do so, and, upon default, the Board
of Commissioners may abate or remove the same and collect the cost
of such removal, together with the penalty of $100, from the owners

the Township to pursue whatever remedies they may have in law or equity
