Whenever the Health Commissioner notifies the occupant or occupants of a business building in writing that there is evidence of rat infestation of the building, the occupant or occupants shall immediately institute rat eradication measures and shall continuously maintain such measures in a satisfactory manner until the premises are declared by the Commissioner to be free of rat infestation. Unless the measures are undertaken within five days after receipt of notice, it shall be construed as a violation of the provisions of this chapter and the occupant shall be held responsible therefor.
