TITLE 13. WATER AND SEWER
CHAPTER 13-700. GARBAGE DISPOSAL UNITS
§13-704. Penalties. [66]
(1) The installation or use of any garbage disposal unit
without a permit shall constitute a nuisance. Upon written notice from the
Department of Licenses and Inspections that a nuisance exists, the garbage
disposal unit shall be removed within ten (10) days of the receipt of such

removal of any garbage disposal units cannot be completed as a practical matter
within this time, an extension of thirty (30) days shall be
granted.
(2) When more than one written notice is required to be sent to
any person violating this ordinance, failure to comply with each notice shall
constitute a separate offense.
(3) Any person violating any provision of
this ordinance shall be subject to a fine not exceeding fifty (50) dollars for
each offense, together with costs of prosecution.
(4) In addition to any
penalty imposed by the Code and any other remedy at law or in equity under this
Title, the City may apply to a Court of Common Pleas or the County Court of
Philadelphia for appropriate relief at law or in equity to enforce compliance
with or restrain violation of any provision of this Chapter.
