2021 Code of Alabama|Title 6 - Civil Practice.|Chapter 5 - Actions.|Article 9 - Nuisances.|Division 1 - General Provisions.|Section 6-5-120 - Defined.

Section 6-5-120Defined. A "nuisance" is anything that works hurt, inconvenience, or damage to another. The fact that the act done may otherwise be lawful does not keep it from being a nuisance. The inconvenience complained of must not be fanciful or such as would affect only one of a fastidious taste, but it should be such as would affect an ordinary reasonable man. (Code 1907, §5193; Code 1923, §9271; Code 1940, T. 7, §1081.)

Section 6-5-121Distinction between public and private nuisances; right of action generally. Nuisances are either public or private. A public nuisance is one which damages all persons who come within the sphere of its operation, though it may vary in its effects on individuals. A private nuisance is one limited in its injurious effects to one or a few individuals. Generally, a public nuisance gives no right of action to any individual, but must be abated by a process instituted in the name of the state. A private nuisance gives a right of action to the person injured. (Code 1907, §5196; Code 1923, §9274; Code 1940, T. 7, §1084.)

(c) Any and all ordinances heretofore or hereafter adopted by any municipal corporation in which such plant, establishment, farming operation facility, or racetrack is located, which purports to make the operation of any such plant, establishment, farming operation facility, or racetrack, or its appurtenances a nuisance or providing for an abatement thereof as a nuisance in the circumstances set forth in this section are, and shall be, null and void; provided, that the provisions of this subsection shall not apply whenever a nuisance results from the negligent or improper operation of any such plant, establishment, farming operation facility, or racetrack, or any of its appurtenances.
