[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Franklin 12-1-1997.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to establish the policy and procedures
to provide ample protection for the unnecessary entry and/or inspection of
owner-occupied detached single- or two-family structures.
A.
It shall be the duty of the Chief of the Fire Department
to implement a systematic inspection program that provides an adequate level
of protection within all the adopted codes to all occupancies except for one-
and two-family dwellings.
B.
It is to be clearly understood that a request by a city
official to inspect a detached one- or two-family dwelling shall be based
upon a reasonable belief that an imminent hazard or substantial unsafe condition
does exist and not part of a systematic inspection program.
C.
Any entry into a single- or two-family dwelling would
only occur after due process with strict adherence to constitutional law.
