Coxsackie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-7
Infestation and screening
Operative Text
A. Grounds, buildings and structures shall be maintained free of insect, vermin and rodent harborage and infestation. Methods used for exterminating insects, vermin and rodents shall conform to generally approved processes that will not be injurious to human health. B. Where the potential for rodent or vermin infestation exists, windows and other openings shall be appropriately screened with wire mesh or other suitable materials.
Section 106-7 of Coxsackie's Code of Ordinances requires that all grounds, buildings, and structures be kept free of insects, vermin, and rodents, and that any extermination methods used must be safe for human health. Where conditions create a risk of infestation, windows and other openings must be fitted with wire mesh or other suitable screening materials. The rule establishes both a maintenance standard and a preventive screening requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Coxsackie Code ch. 106 § 106-7, compliant property operators routinely inspect their grounds and structures for signs of pest harborage and address infestations promptly using extermination methods that meet generally accepted, health-safe standards. Operators also assess whether any windows or openings present a risk of rodent or vermin entry and install appropriate wire mesh or equivalent screening where that risk exists. Keeping records of inspections, pest-control treatments, and screening installations supports a documented compliance posture.

Section 106-7 of Coxsackie's Code of Ordinances gives occupants a basis to expect that their building and its grounds will be maintained free of insect, vermin, and rodent infestation, and that any pest-control methods used will not endanger their health. Tenants who observe unaddressed infestations or missing screening on openings may consider documenting the conditions in writing and notifying their landlord, and can also explore filing a complaint with the local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are available when conditions appear to fall short of what § 106-7 requires.
