(a) the owner or occupier of a lot is keeping an animal on a lot or common property, contrary to the by-laws; or

(b) an animal kept on a lot or common property causes a nuisance, hazard or unreasonable interference with the use or enjoyment of a lot or common property –

the Recorder may order the person keeping the animal to have the animal removed from the site within a specified time and thereafter to keep the animal away from the site.
