The chief, director, health officer and manager shall be entitled to enter buildings or premises to determine whether any act or condition may constitute a nuisance if they have reasonable cause to believe that such act or condition may exist on the property. If the building or premises are occupied, credentials shall be presented to the occupant and permission to enter must be obtained. In the event that the building or premises are secured against entry, a reasonable effort shall be made to locate the owner or other persons having charge or control over the property for permission to enter. If entry is refused, the chief, director, health officer, or manager shall obtain such authorization as may be necessary under the circumstances to secure entry. (Ord. 2812, 2015)
