The following observations were made: Numerous piles of trash and debris all over the ground on this property. Loose trash and debris litter the property, and there are old furniture, televisions, and miscellaneous debris scattered about the property. These conditions are creating a harborage for mice, rats, and other neighborhood pests. Therefore, a public health nuisance exists at your property and must be abated. You are hereby ordered to: 1. Clear overgrown vegetation. All overgrown vegetation must be trimmed or removed to eliminate hiding places and breeding grounds for pests and rodents. 2. Take Rodent Control Measures: Professional pest control services must be engaged to address and eradicate the rodent infestation and removal of any rodent attractants. 3. Remove all Trash and Debris: All trash, debris, and waste materials must be collected and properly disposed of. The property should be kept clean and free of litter to prevent future health hazards. YOU MUST ACT NOW. You must complete all corrective actions within ten days of receipt of this order. Failure to comply within ten days may result in the City taking the corrective actions by hiring contractors to correct the violations and impose a lien on your property to recover the costs of such action. It may also result in other legal action being taken against you including criminal prosecution. NOTICE: You have the right to request a hearing before the Salem Board of Health to contest this Order. Your request must be in writing and received by the Board within five days of receiving this order.
