Building inspections and reporting following complaints related to rats and conditions that attract rats.

Summary

This bill would require DOHMH to perform a building inspection in response to any 311 complaint relating to rat activity or conditions that might attract rats within 14 days of receiving such complaint. If unable to complete such inspection, DOHMH would be required to conduct a subsequent inspection within 20 days of the initial inspection. The bill would also require that a record of such inspections include a description of the inspector’s observations and whether DOHMH conducted any enforcement related to rats in the building; such records would be made publicly available online.
