The Construction Official and/or his agents
or assistants shall enforce all the provisions of this 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 Official 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 in accordance with §
267-10.
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. The provisions of this section shall be subject to §
267-10.
