A. Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any of the provisions of this chapter, or whenever the director of public works has reasonable cause to believe that there exists on any premises any condition not in conformity with any of the provisions of this title, the director may enter such premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same or to perform any duty imposed upon him; provided, that if such building or premises be occupied, he shall first present proper credentials and demand 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 demand entry. If entry is refused, the director shall obtain an administrative inspection warrant to secure entry.

B. No owner or occupant of any premises shall fail or neglect, after proper demand is made, to permit entry by the director for the purpose of inspection to enforce this title. [Ord. 8982 § 3, 1981].
