A. During regular business hours or in an emergency, the municipal officer or his representative or any duly authorized City representative, upon the showing of proper credentials and in the discharge of his duties, may enter any building or rental unit within a building upon consent of the owner or with a duly executed search warrant, to make an inspection to determine whether there is any violation of the Code.

The municipal officer may seek a search warrant whenever the owner, managing agent, or occupant fails to allow inspections of any dwelling unit contained in the rental property where there is a reasonable cause to believe that there is a violation of the Code. C. The presence or existence of any of the following shall create a rebuttable presumption that a dwelling unit is rented: (1) The property is occupied by someone other than the owner, and the owner of the property represents, in writing or otherwise, to any person or establishment, business, institution or government agency, that he resides at an address other than the rental property. (2) Persons occupying the premises represent that they pay rent to the owner of the premises. (3) Utilities, cable, phone or other services are in place or requested to be installed or used at the premises in the name of someone other than the record owner.

(10) There exists a separate written or oral lease or rental arrangement, payment or agreement for portions of the dwelling among its owner(s) and/or occupants and/or persons in possession thereof. (11) Any occupant or person in possession thereof does not have unimpeded and/or lawful access to all or part of the dwelling unit. (12) There exists two or more kitchens each containing one or more of the following: a range, oven, hotplate, microwave or other similar device customarily used for cooking or preparation of food and/or a refrigerator. D. Nothing in this section, except for provisions containing emergency inspections, shall be deemed to authorize the municipal officer or representative to conduct an inspection of any premises subject to this chapter without the consent of the owner or without a warrant duly issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. E. Nothing in this section shall prevent the entry into a building or dwelling unit by the municipal officer without the consent of the owner or a search warrant in response to an emergency.
