(A) Access of code official. The code official shall be granted access by the owner, agent, or occupant of the non-owner occupied dwelling or dwelling unit(s), at the date and time schedule for the inspection(s), for the purpose of conducting a compliance inspection. If any owner or occupant refuses to provide access to the premises for a compliance inspection, or fails to show up for the inspection, the inspection shall be recorded as a lock-out and re-inspection fees assessed. All non-owner occupied dwellings and dwelling units shall comply with the minimum standards set forth in the International Property Maintenance Code as adopted by reference in § 150.010 of this chapter.
(B) Inspection required. All non-owner occupied dwellings and dwelling unit(s) shall have an inspection to ensure compliance with all the requirements of the International Property Maintenance Code as adopted by reference in § 150.010 of this chapter.
(C) Re-inspection required. Re-inspection shall be required when violations are found to exist during a prior inspection. Before a certificate of compliance is issued, all violations must be corrected and approved. The violations shall be corrected and a re-inspection completed within 30 days after the initial inspection or by the renewal date, whichever occurs first, except in dangerous conditions which must be remedied immediately.
(D) Additional inspections. In addition to regular or renewal inspections, inspections may be scheduled on one or more of the following bases:
(1) Upon a tenant complaint to the city. Complaints of violations from tenants residing in the dwelling unit will be inspected within a reasonable time if they allege sufficient facts that would give reasonable cause to believe a violation of this chapter exists.
(2) Whenever a code official has a reasonable cause to believe that there is a violation of this chapter or other conditions which make the structure or premises unsafe, dangerous, or hazardous.
