[Ord. No. 861 § BH-10.1]
a.
Emergency inspections may be authorized without warrant if the Registered
Environmental Health Specialist has reason to believe that a condition
exists which poses an immediate threat to life, health or safety.
Such procedure shall only take place where the time taken to apply
for and secure the issuance of a warrant would render ineffective
the immediate action necessary to abate the condition.
b.
Emergency inspections may also be authorized by the Governor in times
of air pollution emergencies in accordance with N.J.S.A. 26:2C-26
et seq.
[Ord. No. 861 § BH-10.2]
Where the Registered Environmental Health Specialist or his
or her agent is refused entry or access or is otherwise impeded or
prevented by the owner, occupant or operator from conducting an inspection
of the premises, such person shall be in violation of this chapter
and shall be subject to penalties hereunder.
[Ord. No. 861 § BH-10.3]
The Registered Environmental Health Specialist may, upon affidavit,
apply to the Judge of the Municipal Court of the Borough for a search
warrant setting forth factually the actual conditions and circumstances
that indicate what violations of this chapter may exist on the premises.
If the Judge of the Municipal Court is satisfied as to the matter
set forth in the affidavit, the Judge shall authorize the issuance
of a search warrant permitting access to and inspection of that part
of the premises on which the nuisance or violation may exist.
