With the permission of the owner, occupant, or agent, or pursuant to an administrative inspection warrant or other judicial relief a code enforcement official is authorized to enter upon any property or premises, and into any buildings or structures located thereon, to ascertain whether the provisions of this Code or applicable state codes are being obeyed, and to make any examinations and surveys as may be necessary in the performance of his or her enforcement duties. These may include the taking of photographs, samples, or other physical evidence. All inspections, entries, examinations and surveys shall be done in a reasonable manner. If an owner, occupant or agent refuses permission to enter or inspect, the code enforcement official may seek judicial relief including an administrative inspection warrant pursuant to the procedures provided in state law, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1822.50 et seq., as it may be amended from time to time. Any person who willfully refuses to permit an inspection lawfully authorized is guilty of a misdemeanor pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 1822.57.
