(a) Jurisdiction. Regardless of provisions of the County Code that would limit authority to enforce provisions of the Code to specific departments, Enforcement Officers are authorized to enforce all provisions of the County Code, the provisions of any code adopted by reference by the County Code, and when designated by the County Code, parking laws and regulations, except as otherwise provided by state law, in the following areas:
(1) In the unincorporated area of the County, with the exception of those areas owned by or under the jurisdiction of other governmental agencies, unless allowed for by agreement, statute, or other applicable law;
(2) On property owned, leased, or operated by the County, anywhere within the County; and
(3) Where the County has legal standing to enforce provisions of the County Code or any other code, regulation or ordinance anywhere in the County.
(b) Inspections. Enforcement Officers are hereby authorized to enter upon any property or premises within the Enforcement Officer's jurisdiction to investigate violations of the County Code, and to make any inspection as may be necessary in the performance of their enforcement duties. Such authorization is subject to constitutional constraints and laws respecting the rights of privacy, in accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1822.50 through 1822.59, as may be amended from time to time, or the successor provisions thereto, and related case law.
