Except in cases where a public health or code enforcement official with jurisdiction has determined a need for immediate pest management, application to a tenant's residential unit is prohibited if the tenant is opposed to such treatment. A pesticide application may not be made until such time as alternative control measures have been tried and documented as to their failure to control a pest problem, which poses health risks, threatens significant property damage or threatens to infest other parts of the building.
