Final answer:
The statement regarding the requirement for pesticide notification in a multiple-family dwelling consisting of more than 4 units under section 8538 of the Business and Professions Code is true. Owners or their agents must be notified, and notices must also be posted in visible, common areas.
Step-by-step explanation:
You asked whether it is true or false that under section 8538 of the Business and Professions code, where pesticide notification is required, and the work is to be performed on a multiple-family dwelling consisting of more than 4 units, the owner or owner's agent must receive notification, and other notices must be posted in heavily frequented or highly visible areas. The answer to this question is True.
Pesticide notification laws are designed to ensure that residents and other affected parties are aware of pesticide applications in their living environments. In the context of multi-unit dwellings, such as apartment complexes with more than four units, it is particularly important for the safety and informed consent of tenants that such notifications are made properly and conspicuously posted in common areas.
