The Building Inspector shall inform the applicant that he/she has a constitutional right to refuse entry by City inspectors without a search warrant.
      (1)   If the applicant will consent to the inspection, the parties shall then agree to a time during the working hours of the Building Department, or at some other mutually agreeable time when the inspection is to be made.
      (2)   If the applicant refuses to consent to the inspection, the Building Inspector shall procure a search warrant as provided by law to gain entry.
   (b)   The following schedule for issuing a Certificate of Inspection shall be followed, except where a longer period is required because of the larger number of units in a building or other causes beyond the control of the Village:
      (1)   Within five working days after receipt of the application and required fee, the Building Inspector shall cause an inspection of the designated property to be made.
      (2)   The Building Inspector shall then issue a Certificate of Inspection within five working days after gaining access to the subject property containing the following information:

If the owner of a property does not comply by correcting the violation enumerated in the Certificate of Inspection prior to the time the title is transferred to the purchaser, then the purchaser of that property will be required to comply by correcting the violations contained in the Certificate of Inspection within the time allotted in the notice given to the prior owner as that time may be extended by the Building Inspector.
