Where any provision of this Article necessitates an inspection or investigation before the issuance of a license, the Town Clerk shall refer such application to the proper officer who, after presentation of proper credentials, may enter the building at all reasonable times to inspect the same, provided that, except in emergency situations, the officer shall give the owner or occupant twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice. The notice shall state that the property owner or occupant has the right to refuse entry, and such refusal is not a violation of law. However, if such entry is refused, inspection may be made after issuance of a search warrant by a duly authorized magistrate, based upon probable cause. (Ord. 293 §3, 1977)
