Aurora property maintenance standards under Chapter 22 and Chapter 62 housing rules require building owners to keep structures free from rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, and other vermin, with code enforcement issuing correction notices when infestations endanger occupants.
Aurora City Code Chapters 22 and 62 require structures to be maintained vermin-free, including rats, mice, cockroaches, and bed bugs. Property owners must seal entry points, remediate harborage conditions such as standing water and accumulated trash, and engage licensed pest control when infestations are confirmed. Multi-family landlords carry additional duties to treat affected units, adjacent units, and common areas to prevent recurrence. Code enforcement inspectors respond to tenant complaints and can issue notices and orders requiring remediation within set deadlines. Failure to comply leads to administrative citations and possible municipal-court action. Tenants must permit access for treatment and avoid practices that worsen infestations.
Failure to remediate after notice triggers administrative citations, daily fines, possible relocation of tenants for severe cases, and referral to Aurora Municipal Court.
