Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, whenever infestation is caused by failure of the owner to maintain a dwelling in a vectorproof or reasonably insectproof condition, extermination shall be the responsibility of the owner. Whenever infestation exists in two or more of the dwelling units of any multifamily dwelling or in the shared or public parts of any dwelling containing two or more dwelling units, extermination shall be the responsibility of the owner.

All yards shall be properly graded and maintained to afford proper drainage of all parts to proper City drain water facilities and to prevent the drainage of water to the foundation or walls of cellars or buildings upon the premises or upon adjoining premises. Drainage is to meet the standards and conform to the Property Maintenance Code of the City.

The program plan shall state the type of vectors to be controlled, the name of the company contracted to carry out the program and any and all work to be conducted in an effort to control such vectors. If, after review of the program plan by the Health Officer or designee, it is found to be inadequate or incomplete, additional information may be required as well as additional control methods.
The Health Officer and any officer or employee of the Bureau of Codes Enforcement, or any officer or employee of the City so designated by the Mayor, may make such inspections of the interior and exterior of all dwellings, multifamily dwellings, buildings, structures and accessory structures, premises, vacant lots, collections of water, or any other places to determine evidence of vector infestation and the need for vectorproofing or additions or repairs to existing vectorproofing.
