Absent emergency circumstances, whenever necessary to make inspection to enforce the provisions of § 95.01, the City Manager, his or her designee or the Code Enforcement Officer may enter such building or premises at any and all reasonable times to inspect the same, provided such entry is pursuant to the law, and further provided if such building or premises is occupied, the investigating agent provides proper credentials at request of entry. If entry is denied, the investigating agent has authority to seek lawful entry pursuant to an administrative search warrant or other lawful means. A certificate of registration shall not be construed as consenting to a search or entry into a rental unit except as provided by this section and other applicable law.
