§ 82-388. Inspection and order to ratproof existing buildings; failure so to do.
Latest version.
The director of the department of health, or his duly authorized representative, may
make frequent and unannounced inspections of existing business buildings within the
limits of the city for the purpose of determining any rat infestation and order by
written notice either the owner, occupant, agent or any other person in custody of
any rat infested business building to protect such business building by rat stoppage
as provided in this article, regardless of the need for the remodeling of, or repairs
to, such business building, and further order that such other rat-control methods
be employed as may be deemed necessary by the director of the department of health,
or his duly authorized representative, to maintain such business building free from
rats. The written notice and order shall specify the time, in no event in less than
15 days, for completion of such work and improvements. Unless such work and improvements
are completed in accordance with the written notice and order by either the owner,
occupant, agent or other person in custody of the business building within the time
so specified or within the time to which a written extension has been granted by the
director of the department of health, or his duly authorized representative, then
the owner, occupant, agent or other person in custody of the building shall be guilty
of an offense under the provisions of this article.
