(2) The
presence of mycelial growth or characteristic damage from wood-decay
fungi.
(b) A moisture
content in the wooden members of a structure in excess of 20 percent of a dry

taken to control the moisture level of the affected member(s).
(c) Pesticide applications for the control or

conditions supporting the growth of wood-decay fungi. Such notice shall include
an evaluation of the condition of the structure, including the moisture content
of the wooden members to be treated as determined with a moisture meter, and a
