(a) The Director of Building and Housing is hereby directed to conduct an inspection of the common areas of all multiple dwellings, and all rental units within such multiple dwellings, at least once every three (3) years according to a schedule established by him or her.
(b) Nothing herein shall prevent, or be construed as preventing, more frequent inspections upon complaint or upon reasonable suspicion by the Director of Building and Housing that a violation of the City's Building, Housing, Health or Fire Codes exists upon the property.
(c) It shall be the duty of the owner or agent, upon consent, to cause the common areas of the structure and individual rental units to be accessible for inspection at the time arranged, which shall be during regular business hours. If the owner or agent refuses to consent to an inspection of the subject property or, in the case of an individual rental unit, the tenant thereof, or if consent is otherwise unobtainable, the Director of Building and Housing or his designated representative shall not make such inspection without first obtaining a search warrant as provided in Section 1409.02. (Ord. 17-92. Enacted 11-13-17.)
