Our mission is to protect the health and safety of the people of the City of Boston. This division is comprised of three sections: Rodent Control, Site Cleanliness, and Auto Shop Licensing and Enforcement.

Boston Rodent Action Plan
Under the direction of Mayor Michelle Wu Boston launched the Boston Rodent Action Plan (BRAP), a new coordinated, multi-agency initiative to mitigate the rodent population in Boston and maintain an excellent quality of life established for Boston residents, families, and visitors.
The City of Boston also released the BRAP report, commissioned by the Inspectional Services Department (ISD) and authored by Dr. Bobby Corrigan, a leading Urban Rodentologist. The report details the factors contributing to the urgent rodent population in the city and will serve as a foundation for improving ongoing City efforts to address this critical quality of life issue better impacting residents and neighborhoods across Boston.
What We Do
Rodent Control
We conduct inspections to make sure there is no rodent infestation present on a property. When we get a complaint, we'll do a comprehensive inspection of the area. We look for signs of an infestation and try to find and eliminate food sources.
Site Cleanliness
The City of Boston Site Cleanliness Ordinance requires all businesses and residential locations that maintain bulk refuse apply for a license from the Boston Inspectional Services, Environmental Sanitation Division.
Auto Shop License
You need to get a license to run an auto shop or dealership in the City.
