If the town has been refused access to a building, structure or property of any part thereof, and if the town has demonstrated probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this chapter or that there is a need to inspect as part of a routine inspection program of the town designed to verify compliance with this chapter or any permit or order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, then upon application to an appropriate judicial officer, the town may obtain and utilize a search warrant among other available remedies. In the event of an emergency affecting public health and safety, inspections may be made without the issuance of a search warrant.
