Section 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.
