Pest control in Onondaga County is governed by the NY Property Maintenance Code (19 NYCRR Part 1226) plus local housing codes. Pesticide applicators must hold DEC certification under NY Environmental Conservation Law Article 33.
Under 19 NYCRR 1226.4, owners of residential structures must maintain buildings free of rodents and insects. Syracuse Property Conservation Code Chapter 27 reinforces landlord duties to exterminate infestations in multi-unit housing.
