§ 1308. Powers and duties of local boards of health. It shall be the
duty of local boards of health to enforce the public health law, the
state sanitary code and local sanitary codes whether promulgated by the
county or any of the political subdivisions within said county. A local
board of health is hereby authorized to make an ex parte application for
a temporary restraining order and upon sufficient proof to satisfy it,
the court may grant such an order, where there is a violation within the
jurisdiction of the local board of health which requires immediate
relief.
