Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce
any of the provisions of this Code, or whenever the Building Official or his
authorized representative has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in
any building or upon any premises any condition or Code violation which makes
such building or premises unsafe, dangerous, or hazardous, the Building Official
or his authorized representative may enter such building or premises at all
reasonable times to inspect the same or to perform any duty imposed upon the
building official by this Code, provided that if such building or premises be
occupied, he shall first present proper credentials and request entry; and if
such building or premises be unoccupied, he shall first make a reasonable effort
to locate the owner or other persons having charge or control of the building or
premises and request entry. If such entry is refused, the Building
Official or his authorized representative shall have recourse to every remedy
provided by law to secure entry.
When the Building Official or his authorized representative shall have first
obtained a proper inspection warrant or other remedy provided by law to secure
entry, no owner or occupant or any other persons having charge, care, or control
of any building or premises shall fail or neglect, after proper request is made
as herein provided, to promptly permit entry therein by the Building Official or
his authorized representative for the purpose of inspection and examination
pursuant to this Code.
