Westland requires property owners to control rodents, insects, and other pests under the property maintenance code. Infestations may trigger code enforcement notices and abatement orders.
Westland adopts the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) which requires owners to keep structures free of rodents, insects, and vermin. Under the city code, owners must extinguish rodent harborage, seal openings, and properly store garbage in rodent-resistant containers. Commercial food service establishments must contract with licensed pest control operators registered with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. Wayne County Environmental Health inspects restaurants and may cite infestations. Residential tenants can report landlord failures to treat bed bugs or roaches to Westland Code Enforcement, which can issue repair orders under MCL 554.139 (landlord fitness obligations). Pesticide applicators must be MDARD-certified. Mosquito abatement is handled through Wayne County.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
