Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any of the provisions of this Chapter, or whenever an authorized inspector has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in any building or upon any premises any condition which constitutes a nuisance hereunder, such inspector may enter such building or premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same or to perform any duty imposed on him; provided, that if such building or premises is occupied, such inspector shall first present proper credentials and request entry; and if such building or premises is unoccupied, he shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner or occupant or other person or persons having charge or control of the building or premises, and upon locating the owner, occupant or other person or persons shall present proper credentials and request entry. If entry is refused, such person shall give the owner or occupant, or if the owner or occupant cannot be located after a reasonable effort, he shall leave at the building or premises, a twenty-four hours' written notice of intention to inspect. The notice given to the owner or occupant or left on the premises as aforesaid shall state that the property owner has the right to refuse entry and that in the event such entry is refused, inspection may be made only upon issuance of a search warrant by a municipal judge of the City, or judge of any other court having jurisdiction.

After the expiration of the twenty-four hour period from the giving or leaving of such notice, the authorized inspector may appear before any Municipal Judge of the Municipal Court of the City and upon a showing of probable cause shall obtain a search warrant entitling him to enter the building or the premises. Upon presentation of the search warrant and proper credentials, or possession of same in the case of an unoccupied building or premises, the person may enter into the building or the premises using such reasonable force as may be necessary to gain entry therein.

For purposes of this subsection, a determination of "Probable Cause" will be based upon reasonableness, and if a valid public interest justifies the intrusion contemplated, then there is probably cause to issue a search warrant. The person applying for such warrant shall not be required to demonstrate personal knowledge of the condition of the particular structure or premises in issue in order to obtain a search warrant. It is unlawful for any owner or occupant of the building or premises to resist reasonable force used by an authorized inspector, acting pursuant to this subsection.

Right of entry--emergencies. Whenever an emergency situation exists in relation to the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Chapter, an authorized inspector upon a presentation of proper credentials or identification, in the case of an occupied building or premises, or possession of the credentials in the case of an unoccupied building or premises, may enter into any building or any premises within the jurisdiction of the City. In the emergency situation such person or his authorized representative may use such reasonable force as may be necessary to gain entry into the building or the premises.

For purposes of this subsection, an emergency situation includes any situation where there is imminent danger of loss of life, limb or property. It is unlawful for any owner or occupant of the building or premises to resist reasonable force used by the authorized official acting pursuant to this subsection.

Search warrants -- Jurisdiction of the Municipal Court. Any Municipal Judge of the Municipal Court of the City shall have power to issue search warrants upon a showing of probable cause for the implementations as provided for in Subsection (a) of this section.
