Every occupant of a dwelling containing a single dwelling unit shall exterminate any insects, rodents or other pests therein or on the premises; and every occupant of a dwelling unit shall be responsible for such extermination whenever his dwelling unit is the only one infested. When infestation is caused by failure of the owner to maintain a dwelling in ratproof or reasonably insectproof condition, extermination and prevention of further infestation shall be the responsibility of the owner. When infestation exists in two or more of the dwelling units in any dwelling, or in the shared or public parts of any dwelling containing two or more dwelling units, extermination and prevention of further infestation shall be the responsibility of the owner. Termite extermination shall be the sole responsibility of the owner.
