The Department shall have the authority to make inspections where there is reasonable cause to believe that there exists in a structure or upon the premises a condition in violation of the above codes. Where a complaint is received by a tenant, due to failure of the owner to address and correct an alleged violation, the Department shall first send out notice to the owner, when applicable and schedule a time for inspection. Where the inspection is of an emergency nature due to an unsafe condition, the Department may inspect the property without prior notice. An unsafe condition may be cause for the immediate vacating of the dwelling until such time as the unsafe condition can be corrected.
