Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any ordinance or resolution, or
whenever there is reasonable cause to believe there exists an ordinance or resolution
violation in any building or upon any premises within the jurisdiction of the city,
any authorized official of the city may, upon presentation of proper credentials,
enter such building or premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same or to
perform any duty imposed upon him by ordinance; provided, that except in emergency
situations or when consent of the owner and/or occupant to the inspection has been
otherwise obtained, he shall give the owner and/or occupant, if they can be located
after reasonable effort, twenty-four hours' written notice of the authorized official's
intention to inspect. The notice transmitted to the owner and/or occupant 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 duly
authorized magistrate. In the event the owner and/or occupant refuses entry after
such request has been made, the official is empowered to seek assistance from any
court of competent jurisdiction in obtaining such entry.
