A. Any person possessing any premises wherein putrescible waste is produced, handled, stored or allowed to accumulate shall manage such putrescible waste in such a manner as to preclude the breeding of flies or other vermin therein.

B. No person in control of putrescible waste shall knowingly allow or permit the same to serve as a breeding medium for flies or other vermin. Upon knowledge of such infestation, or after receiving written notice from the manager of environmental health, said person shall at once proceed and continue in good faith to destroy the flies, larvae or pupae thereof by poisoning, trapping, removal of the material to a disposal site which has been approved by the City, or by any other effective means.

C. In any prosecution charging violation of this chapter, a prima facie presumption of the violation of the provisions of this section shall exist upon proof by the chief of environmental health that an analysis of putrescible organic material controlled by any person charged shows that such material contains living larvae or pupae of domestic flies.
