Insect and rodent control
Operative Text
Grounds, buildings and structures shall be maintained free of insect and rodent harborage and infestation. Extermination methods and other measures to control insects and rodents shall conform to the requirements of the Onondaga County Health Department.
Section 195-24 of Lysander's Code of Ordinances requires that all grounds, buildings, and structures be kept free of conditions that attract or shelter insects and rodents, and that any extermination or control efforts meet the standards set by the Onondaga County Health Department. The rule establishes both a baseline maintenance obligation—preventing infestation—and a procedural requirement that the methods used to address any infestation comply with county health guidelines. This provision applies to the property as a whole, including outdoor areas and any structures on the lot.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lysander Code § 195-24, compliant property operators generally conduct routine inspections of grounds and structures to identify and eliminate conditions—such as debris accumulation, standing water, or gaps in building exteriors—that could harbor insects or rodents. When extermination or pest-control services are engaged, operators typically verify that those services and methods meet Onondaga County Health Department standards. Maintaining documentation of inspections and pest-control treatments is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
