Summary
The bill mandates that any building slated for demolition within 10 feet of a neighboring building on a different property must be inspected for rats, mice, roaches or other designated pests. A licensed health officer or certified pesticide applicator must certify that no severe pest presence exists, or arrange mitigation, before a demolition permit is issued. The goal is to stop pests from moving into nearby homes after a demolition.
