Public nuisance generally involves actions that harm or interfere with the rights of the public or community. If the actions happen within a private property but cause disturbance to neighbors or public, it can still be considered a public nuisance.

If there was no disturbance to the public, then charges like "Disturbing the Peace" or "Public Nuisance" may not apply.
