Livonia property maintenance code requires owners to keep buildings free of rats, mice, cockroaches, and other vermin. The Housing Division enforces complaints about infestations in rentals and vacant homes.
Chapter 15 (Housing) of the Livonia City Code adopts property maintenance standards requiring every dwelling, dwelling unit, and premises to be kept free from insect and rodent infestation. Owners of multiple-family dwellings and rental properties are responsible for extermination before occupancy and when infestations extend across more than one unit. Single-family owner-occupied homes are responsible for their own extermination. The Housing Division investigates complaints about rodent harborage from accumulated trash, abandoned pools, or neglected vacant structures, and can issue correction orders under the Property Maintenance Code. Outdoor rodent bait stations must be tamper-resistant when placed in areas accessible to children and pets under Michigan Department of Agriculture pesticide rules. For persistent concerns near Hines Park or Rouge River tributary areas, residents can call the Livonia Housing Division at 734-466-2200.
