Pest & Mold Issues

Mold and pests in residences can adversely affect health and the quality of life. Environmental Health does not have a housing program and therefore does not inspect or enforce housing complaints, but the local code enforcement within your jurisdiction enforces state housing codes. Environmental Health only offers information on these housing issues to assist homeowners and the public.

Meth Lab Cleanup

The Methamphetamine Contaminated Property Act of 2005 requires the clean-up of the property contaminated by methamphetamine labs so it can be safe for occupancy. This law also requires the Public Health Officer to respond to complaints of potentially contaminated property. The response includes evaluating the property, testing for contamination, notifying and posting warning notices, issuing orders prohibiting occupancy if the site is not safe, as well as overseeing the ultimate return of the property to a safe environment.
