Geneseo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 96 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 96-27

The Code Enforcement Officer shall have the right to inspect all or any part of rental dwellings or units, provided that the tenant has consented, except that in the event that the owner is not a permittee, then the owner, agent or person in charge thereof shall have the right to insist upon the procurement of a search warrant from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enable such inspection. The officials charged with conducting the inspection pursuant to this chapter shall be required to obtain a search warrant in the event that they are unable to obtain the consent of the owner if the owner is not a permittee, and, in all circumstances, a tenant with common authority over the premises to be searched after such tenant has been advised that he or she has a constitutional right to refuse entry of the officials without a search warrant. The Code Enforcement Officer is authorized, on sworn affidavit stating the factual bases therefor, to make application to the Village Court of Geneseo or to such other court as may be deemed appropriate for the issuance of an administrative search warrant. The search warrant may be executed by the Code Enforcement Officer only in the case of permittees and, in all other cases, by a peace officer who may be accompanied by the Code Enforcement Officer in order to conduct an inspection of any premises covered by this chapter where the occupant refuses or fails, after due notice as provided herein, to allow an inspection of the dwelling unit or premises, where there is reasonable cause to believe that a violation of this chapter or a violation of the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or the Code of the Village of Geneseo exists, or where there is reasonable cause for inspection. The application for a search warrant shall, in all respects, comply with applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States.
