7-1-5-1: ISSUANCE OF SEARCH WARRANT:
Where no consent has been given to enter or to inspect any property or place, real or personal, and where the officer does not otherwise have a legal right to enter or inspect the property or place in the city, no entry or inspection shall be made without the procurement of a search warrant from the Fulton County circuit court. The court may consider any of the following factors along with such other matters as it deems pertinent in its decision as to whether a search warrant shall issue:
   (A)   Eyewitness account of apparent violation;
   (B)   Citizen's complaint;
   (C)   Tenant complaints;
   (D)   Plain view violations;
   (E)   Violations apparent from city records;
   (F)   Property deterioration;
   (G)   Age of property;
   (H)   Nature of alleged violation;
   (I)   Similar properties in the area;
   (J)   Documented violations of similar properties in the area;
   (K)   Passage of time since last inspection;
   (L)   Previous violations on the property;
   (M)   General reputation of the place;
   (N)   General reputation of the inmates of the place, and of those resorting thereto.
Cause for issuance of the search warrant shall be deemed to exist in light of reasonable legislative and administrative standards which show that there is reason to believe that a condition of nonconformity exists with respect to a particular property or place in violation of this code. (Ord. 1195, 5-3-1988)
