The Construction Official and/or his agents or assistants shall
enforce all the provisions of the code relative to the maintenance
of external structures and premises and shall be hereafter referred
to as "Code Officials."
The Code Officials shall issue all necessary notices and orders
to abate illegal or unsafe conditions to ensure compliance with the
code requirements for the safety, health and general welfare of the
public.
The Code Officials shall make or cause to be made inspections
to determine the conditions of any external structure or premises
in order to safeguard the safety, health and welfare of the public
under the provisions of this chapter. The Code Officials are authorized
to enter upon the external premises to make inspections only by the
expressed consent of the owner or occupant or by an inspection warrant
issued by the Municipal Judge, upon probable cause shown.
The Code Officials shall disclose proper credentials of their
respective office for the purpose of inspecting any and all structures
and premises.
Inspection of premises, the issuance of notices and orders and
enforcement thereof shall be the responsibility of Code Officials
so charged by the Township. Whenever, in the opinion of a Code Official
initiating an inspection under this code, it is deemed necessary or
desirable to have inspections by any other department or agency, he
shall make a reasonable effort to arrange for the coordination of
such inspections so as to minimize the number of visits by inspectors
and to confer with the other departments for the purpose of eliminating
conflicting orders before any are issued.
