Retrieval notePin: p. 57 of 1,048. Same file as DUT-CO-001. Subsection (1)(d) also makes it unlawful to 'Willfully fail to remove from private property under his or her control... within forty-eight hours after being ordered to do so by the county or district public health agency, any nuisance, source of filth, or cause of sickness'. The current code (FindLaw, as of Jan. 1, 2025) reads 'class 2 misdemeanor'; that reclassification postdates the period.
