Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any of the provisions of this
code, or whenever the enforcement officer has reasonable cause to believe that there
exists in any building or upon any premises, any condition which makes such building
or premises substandard as defined in Article X of this chapter, the enforcement officer
may enter such building or premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same or
to perform any duty imposed upon the enforcement officer by this code; provided, that
if such building or premises is occupied, he shall first present proper credentials
and demand entry; and if such building or premises is unoccupied, he shall first make
a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other person having charge or control of
the building or premises and demand entry. If such entry is refused, the enforcement
officer shall have recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry.
If the enforcement officer has obtained a proper inspection warrant or other remedy
provided by law to secure entry, then no owner or occupant or any person having charge,
care or control of any building or premises shall fail or neglect, after proper demand
is made as provided in this chapter, promptly to permit entry therein by the enforcement
officer for the purpose of inspection and examination pursuant to this code. Any person
violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
