Sacramento Code Compliance treats untreated rodent, cockroach, and bed bug infestations as substandard housing under California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3, requiring landlord remediation and using county vector control to address rodents and mosquitoes.
Sacramento City Code Title 8 (Health) and Title 15 (Buildings) authorize Code Compliance to inspect housing for infestations and require correction of conditions that meet the substandard definition under California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3. Bed bugs follow Civil Code section 1954.600 disclosure rules for rentals. Rodent and mosquito complaints are handled with the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District. Tenants can request inspections, and unresolved infestations can lead to compliance orders, civil penalties, and referral to Sacramento County Public Health for serious cases.
Failure to remediate within an inspector deadline can lead to administrative citations, daily penalties, abatement liens, and potential rental property re-inspection fees.
