Part 15 — Enforcement Procedure

The City Administrator, or his designated deputy, shall supervise the enforcement of the provisions of this Chapter, all zoning laws and ordinances, zone provisions, land uses, variances, conditional use permits, and regulations of the City pertaining to the use of land, structures and buildings. The City Administrator, or his duly authorized deputies, are authorized to make all reasonable and necessary inspections of land, buildings, and facilities, or to enter into agreements for the performance of the foregoing, in order to carry out the spirit and intention of this Chapter. In enforcing the terms and provisions of this Chapter, the City Administrator, or his duly designated deputy, is authorized to utilize all available law enforcement agencies of this City and to make and enter into all reasonable and necessary agreements with duly designated law enforcement agency of this City, including the enforcement and investigating personnel of the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission.

The City Administrator, or his designated or authorized deputies, or any authorized law enforcement agent of the City may, with the permission of the owner or occupant, enter any premises, building or structure at any reasonable hour for investigation or inspection as necessary in carrying out the terms and provisions of this part. In those cases where the owner or occupant refuses to allow reasonable inspection, a warrant shall be sought unless immediate entry is necessary in order to abate a nuisance or other condition on said premises dangerous or injurious to the public health, safety or welfare.
