Racine County, WI Building Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detectors (2026)

The owner of a dwelling shall install a functional carbon monoxide detector in the basement of the dwelling and on each floor level except the attic, garage, or storage area of each dwelling unit. This paragraph does not apply to the owner of a dwelling that has no attached garage, no fireplace, and no fuel-burning appliance.

(8) Extermination of vermin. Every occupant of a dwelling containing a single dwelling unit shall be responsible for the extermination of any vermin in or on the premises; and every occupant of a dwelling unit in a dwelling containing more than one (1) dwelling unit shall be responsible for such extermination within the unit occupied by them whenever their dwelling unit is the only one (1) infested. Notwithstanding such provisions, whenever an infestation is caused by the failure of the owner to maintain a dwelling in a reasonably rodent-proof or insect-proof condition, extermination shall be the responsibility of the owner. Extermination of any infestation in an unoccupied dwelling unit shall be the responsibility of the owner even though the condition may have been caused by a previous occupant. All extermination services shall be performed by a licensed exterminator. Effective extermination shall continue until all vermin are eliminated. The responsible person shall submit completed extermination reports from the licensed exterminator to the appropriate code official upon request.
