(A) Where no consent has been given to enter or inspect any multi-family rental dwelling structure or dwelling unit, no entry or inspection shall be made without the procurement of an administrative search warrant from the Circuit Court of Cook County. The court may consider any of the following factors, along with such other matters as it deems pertinent, in its decision as to whether a warrant shall be issued:
(1) Eyewitness accounts of violations;
(2) Citizen complaints;
(3) Tenant complaints;
(4) Plain-view violations;
(5) Violations apparent from city records;
(6) Property deterioration;
(7) Age of the property;
(8) Nature of alleged violations;
(9) Similar properties in the area;
(10) Documented violations for similar properties in the area;
(11) Passage of time since the last inspection; and
(12) Previous violations on the property.
(B) Cause for issuance of an administrative search warrant shall be deemed to exist in light of reasonable legislative and administrative standards which show that there is reason to believe that a condition of nonconformity exists with respect to a particular property in violation of the codes and ordinances of the city.
