It shall be unlawful for any person, either as owner, lessee, agent, occupant or otherwise, to throw, scatter, deposit or collect, or to cause or permit to flow, collect or remain or to be thrown, scattered or deposited, any decomposable organic matter which might create a nuisance or act as a breeding place for flies or other insects or as food for rats or other vermin, or discarded things capable of holding water which might serve as a breeding place for mosquitoes or other insects, in or upon any lot or land, enclosed or otherwise, except at such place or places designated or provided by the Board of Trustees, provided that garbage, manure and other putrescible matter may be temporarily kept in suitable containers as provided in § 74-9.
It shall be unlawful to permit or allow in or
upon any lot or premises any water to collect and lie stagnant in
which mosquito larvae breed or are likely to breed. Whenever the officer
designated to enforce health regulations shall determine that any
accumulation of water wherein mosquito larvae breed or are likely
to breed constitutes a nuisance or a danger or menace to life or health,
he shall proceed to suppress such nuisance or remove such danger or
menace in the manner prescribed in the Public Health Law of the State
of New York.
