Latest version.

In business buildings constructed on piers having wooden floor sills greater than twelve (12) inches above the ground level solid sheet metal coverage of twenty-four-gauge or heavier may be installed snugly around each pipe, cable, wire, conduit or other utility service passing through a wooden ground floor in lieu of curtain walls. Such metal coverage shall not be less than eight (8) inches in diameter larger than the diameter of the pipe, cable, wire, conduit or other utility service, and shall be securely fastened to the wooden floor. All other openings in wood ground floors through which rats may gain entrance into double walls or the interior of business buildings, such as openings that may exist in floors and double walls above floor sills, shall be closed with twenty-four-gauge or heavier solid sheet metal or sixteen-gauge or heavier wire cloth of one-half inch mesh or with concrete or masonry.
