The Chief Building Official shall enforce the RCO Code, as adopted in Section 1428.01, and all other laws relating to buildings and structures and, in the discharge of his or her official duties, shall have authority, upon proper identification, to enter any dwelling, building, structure or premises at any reasonable hour to enforce and ascertain compliance with such Code or law, as set forth in the RCO Code.

All such work shall be done by said owner with the assistance only of any member of his or her family or household, and said work shall be done in conformity with the provisions of the RCO Code and rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, and no work shall be done unless all permits, inspections and approvals required by the RCO Code are secured.

(2) Walls shall be plumb, floors level and corners square within accepted standards and tolerances within the trade or industry, unless required by design to be otherwise.
