Section 145. Disinfection of buildings and diseases.

If the municipality is of the opinion that the cleansing or disinfecting of a building or any part thereof, or of any article therein, which is likely to retain infection will tend to prevent or check the spread of any disease, it may, by notice, require the owner or occupier to cleanse or disinfect the same, or to destroy such article in the manner and within the time prescribed in such notice.
