Chapter 46: Disorderly Actions
Municipal Code:
Chapter 046: Disorderly Actions
Details
[History: Adopted by the Durham Town Council August 21, 2006 as Ord. No. 2006-05. This ordinance addresses a deficiency in the New Hampshire Revised Statutes, specifically RSA 645:1, whereby there are no specific regulations for the prohibition of urinating and defecating in public places, or in private places that can be seen from a public place. Under this specific New Hampshire statute, it is required that the “offended person” be able to see the genitalia of the person urinating or defecating. This ordinance allows the police to take affirmative action through the judicial systems.]
46-1. General Provisions.
It is a violation for any person to urinate or defecate in any public place or in any private place that can be seen from a public place.
46-2. Recovery of Clean-up Costs.
Any person who violates this ordinance shall be liable for any clean-up costs incurred by the Town of Durham as a result of this violation.
46-3. Fines Imposed.
Urinating or Defecating
First Offense: $100
Second Offense: $250
Subsequent Offense: $500
46-4. Exceptions.
This regulation shall not apply to those persons using facilities specifically provided for urinating and defecating.
