Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any ordinance or resolution, or whenever there is reasonable cause to believe there exists an ordinance or resolution violation in any building or upon any premises within the jurisdiction of the city, any authorized official of the city, as from time to time designated by the council, may upon presentation of proper credentials, enter such building or premises at all reasonable times to inspect same or to perform any duty imposed upon him by ordinance; provided, that except in emergency situations or when consent of the owner and/or his local agent to the inspection has been otherwise obtained, he shall give the owner and/or his legal agent, if they can be located after reasonable effort, seven days written notice, via certified mail, return receipt requested, of the authorized official's intention to inspect. The notice transmitted to the owner and/or legal agent, shall state that the property owner has the right to refuse entry and that in the event such entry is refused, inspection may be made only upon issuance of a search warrant by a duly authorized magistrate. In the event the owner and/or legal agent refuses entry after such request has been made, the official is empowered to seek assistance from any court of competent jurisdiction in obtaining such entry, but only with the concurrence of the council first had and obtained.
