(a) Sound condition. Each racetrack operator shall be responsible for maintaining all housing facilities in a structurally sound condition that prevents infestation by rodents, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, bats and other vermin.
(b) Drainage. All backstretch worker housing facilities shall be well drained and be free of depressions where water may pool and stagnate. The site or sites shall be located where disposal of sewage can be provided in a safe, sanitary manner that neither creates nor is likely to create a public health nuisance or health hazard.
(c) Clean and sanitary condition. The grounds of backstretch worker housing shall be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition and be free of noxious plants. Driveways and access roads shall be maintained to allow free and safe vehicular access to the property.
(d) Storage of dangerous materials. No flammable or volatile liquids or materials shall be stored in or adjacent to rooms used for backstretch worker housing, except for those needed for current household use. Agriculture chemicals including pesticides shall not be stored in a housing area.
(e) Contamination. Whenever the buildings of a racetrack operator are contaminated, or suspected of being contaminated by hazardous materials, chemicals or pesticides, the occupancy or use of the housing facilities may be restricted by the commission until required decontamination and/or corrective actions are completed.
(f) Reporting. Each racetrack operator shall have the affirmative responsibility to report to the commission in writing any injury, serious illness, death or fire occurring at or within backstretch worker housing.
