If consent to enter upon or inspect any building, structure or property pursuant to a municipal ordinance is withheld by any person having the lawful right to exclude, the city officer, designee or employee having the duty to enter upon or conduct the inspection may apply to the Iowa District Court in and for the county, pursuant to Iowa Code § 808.14, for an administrative search warrant. No owner, operator or occupant or any other person having charge, care or control of any dwelling, unit, rooming unit, structure, building or premises shall fail or neglect, after presentation of a search warrant, to permit entry therein by the municipal officer, designee or employee.
