A more thorough explanation:

An actionable nuisance is a condition, activity, or situation that interferes with the use or enjoyment of property. This can include things like loud noises or foul odors that make it difficult for people to use or enjoy their property. It can also refer to nontransitory conditions or persistent activities that either injure the physical condition of adjacent land or interfere with its use or with the enjoyment of easements on the land or of public highways.

Liability for an actionable nuisance might or might not arise from the condition or situation. In some cases, the nuisance might be a right thing in the wrong place, like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard. In other cases, the nuisance might be a tort, which means that it is a wrongful act that causes harm to another person or their property.

For example, if a factory emits toxic fumes that make it difficult for nearby residents to breathe, this could be considered an actionable nuisance. Similarly, if a neighbor plays loud music late at night, this could also be considered an actionable nuisance if it interferes with the ability of other people to sleep or enjoy their property.

These examples illustrate how an actionable nuisance can interfere with the use or enjoyment of property. In both cases, the actions of one person or entity are causing harm to others, either through physical injury or by making it difficult for them to use or enjoy their property. This is why actionable nuisances are often the subject of legal action, as they can have a significant impact on the lives of those affected.
