I don't think so. Maybe no one lives nearby so no one complains and there is no odor ordinance. But unless it is clearly an allowed task I would think the owner loses. You do not have the right to stink up a neighborhood simply because you got there first. Same thing with your backyard shooting range. 110 db noises at 10PM may well be a nuisance to a new neighbor even if you have been doing them for 10 years. . Senioarity does not confer zoning approval.

So, should I have the right to stop aircraft from flying overhead because they are a nuisance?
Wouldn't the disclosure statement from the developer indicate odors could be encountered? I don't know about here, but in So Cal you could be exposed to a lawsuit if you did not disclose this or any other undesirable environmental conditions you are aware of.

Generally the law requires disclosure of any problem that exists. But if the problem has been remedied it does not require disclosure. The only real exception is water damage in a house that must be disclosed even if remedied.

Most of the tracts around the pig farm disclosed it. Became an issue as you got further away though mostly it was disclosed as the RE community felt certain the neighbors would talk about it even if it was a rare event.

EPA mandates 2 feet of clean soil on top. The end.

They likely have to do that to meet the drainage code. The current code requres that all property drain to the street. So we often end up with three or four feet of fill in the back of the proverty to get it draining right.

Two reasons why I never buy there if I were in the market for a new home. Reason one, North Las Vegas; reason number two, former pig farm.
