Vector Control
As of January 2009, with the implementation of Ordinance 159-08, staff will be regularly inspecting multi-unit apartment buildings to ensure that they are maintained free of disease vectors and the conditions that breed them. Vector control professionals work to minimize the risk of contracting a vector-borne disease in San Francisco by inspecting properties and enforcing laws that help prevent rodents, mosquitoes, flies, ticks, wild birds.
To Report a Complaint: Contact Norma Castro 415-252-3805.
