Pest control in Oneida County follows the NY State Property Maintenance Code (19 NYCRR 1226). Rental properties must be maintained free of rodents and insects. Applicators must be certified under NY ECL Article 33.
NY Property Maintenance Code Section 309 requires all structures and exterior property to be kept free from insect and rodent infestation. Section 309.2 makes the occupant responsible for single-family units; owner responsible in multi-unit buildings. NY Environmental Conservation Law Article 33 requires all commercial pesticide applicators to be certified by NY DEC; homeowners applying their own EPA-registered products at their own residence are exempt. Utica Code Chapter 2-13 (Property Maintenance) supplements state law with required maintenance of garbage storage and elimination of harborage. Rome Code Chapter 58 similarly enforces. Bed bug complaints in Utica and Rome rental housing trigger 30-day abatement notices; failure triggers code court action. Oneida County Health Department (315-798-5747) investigates severe infestations in rental housing.
NY PMC infestation violation: up to $1,000 per day under NY Executive Law 382. Utica Chapter 2-13: $250-$500 first offense. Unlicensed commercial pesticide application: NY ECL Article 71 civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation.
