(A) The City Manager or designee may conduct inspections in response to reports of violations of this article, within the daily duties of their job requirements, or with reasonable cause that a violation has occurred or is occurring. The city shall seek voluntary compliance prior to issuing a notice of violation. Voluntary compliance may be sought by notifying a responsible party stating the violation by tagging a collection receptacle, or by personal delivery, or by first class U.S. mail.
(B) For the purpose of investigation of violation(s), enforcement officer(s) or city representatives may only inspect private residential property with the responsible party's consent.
