Mosquito larvae was not present in the pool however, chlorine tablets were put in the water to prevent larval development (tablets were onsite next to the pool). Items on the property with standing water were emptied and placed to prevent the re-accumulation of water. This complaint will also be forwarded to the Building Dept. for safety issues.

Owner stated that his NJDEP permit request to demolish the house is moving forward, he received this information last week from the DEP. The Health Department will continue to monitor this complaint for mosquitos and overgrowth until the project is allowed to move forward.
