Does Nassau County regulate mice or insects in owner occupied dwellings?
No. The Nassau County Health Department does not regulate owner occupied dwellings like owner occupied homes, or condominiums and co-op apartments (problems need to be addressed with the building managers, owners boards, or through legal counsel). Who is responsible for extermination in rental dwellings? In one and two family dwellings, the owner/landlord and the occupants are both responsible for the extermination of pests like mice, roaches and other insects, and both will be required to do their part. In multi-unit buildings, the owner/landlord is responsible for extermination and cleanliness in all common areas, and the owner/landlord and occupants are both responsible for extermination of the apartments. In all cases, occupants are responsible for keeping their dwelling free of attractants like food and accumulated trash. The owner/landlord is responsible for pest-proofing the dwelling.
