The Township Administrator, or the Township
Committee if there is no Administrator, is hereby designated to serve
as the public officer hereunder, and all inspections, regulations,
enforcement and hearings on violations of the provisions of this code,
unless expressly stated to the contrary, shall be under his direction
and supervision. He may appoint or designate such other local public
officers or employees to perform duties as may be necessary to the
enforcement of this code, including the making of inspections and
holding of hearings.
All buildings and premises within the Township
covered by this code shall be subject to inspection from time to time
by the public officer to determine the condition thereof, in order
that he may perform his duty of safeguarding the health and safety
of the persons occupying the same and of the general public. For the
purpose of making such inspections, the public officer is hereby authorized
to enter, examine and survey at all reasonable times all such premises;
provided, however, that such entries are made in such manner as to
cause the least possible inconvenience to the persons in possession.
If the public officer is denied the right of inspection he may, upon
affidavit, apply to the Municipal Court or such other court of competent
jurisdiction for a search warrant to permit entry into the premises
in question.
