45-317. Inspections
The director or the director's authorized representative shall, during normal
business hours, have access to places where distributors or retailers sell, store or
maintain plumbing fixtures and to unoccupied new residential construction for the purpose
of making periodic inspections to determine compliance with this article. New
residential construction shall only be inspected prior to issuance of the certificate of
occupancy or upon final electrical inspection. Inspections pursuant to this section
shall be on reasonable notice to the owner or occupant of the premises to be inspected
unless reasonable grounds exist to believe that such notice would frustrate the
enforcement of this article. The director may, and if required by law shall, apply for
and obtain warrants for entry and inspection to carry out the administration and
enforcement purposes of this article.
