If rats are the problem, you have to get rid of them first thing. However, no matter what you do, go to the local law library and look up the codes yourself. There has to be one in your community. It may take some research to find out where it is. If nothing else, call any attorney's office and ask them. Insist the officials give you the code numbers of the ordinances they are citing you under. I have found that what an official, any official, tells me what the law is, is not necessarily what the law in fact actually is. By the way, I have found that reference librarians at the law library are very helpful.
