What is Abatement Order?

An abatement order is a legal directive issued by a government agency or a court requiring a person or entity to cease a specific activity or correct a violation that poses a risk to public health, safety, or the environment. This order typically arises in cases involving zoning violations, environmental hazards, or public nuisance issues. Failure to comply with an abatement order can result in fines, further legal action, or other penalties. The aim is to protect the community and ensure adherence to regulations.
