§ 11.30.010. Maintaining rodent or pest harborage conditions unlawful—Notice to abate.
Latest version.
No person shall occupy, maintain, or cause or permit another person to occupy or maintain
any building, lot, premises, vehicle or any other place, in such condition of construction
or maintenance as will permit the breeding or harborage therein or thereon of rodents,
fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, lice, mosquitoes or any other vermin. No person may permit
an accumulation of any material that may serve as a rodent harborage unless such material
be elevated not less than 18 inches above the ground or floor with a clear intervening
space thereunder. Whenever the director finds any building, lot, premises, vehicle
or other place to be infested with vermin or rodents, or to be in such an insanitary
condition as to require fumigation or renovation, the director may notify the owner,
his agent, the tenant or possessor thereof, in writing, specifying the manner in which
the provisions of this chapter are being violated, and indicating the specific measures
that shall be taken by the recipient of such notice to abate said conditions.
