1319.05 INSPECTIONS. The Building Commissioner or his agent, is hereby authorized to make, or cause to be made, inspections of all structures or premises containing rental units to determine whether such structures or premises comply with City Ordinances, the Fire Prevention Code, or State laws. The Commissioner shall notify the owner of any rental unit that is to be inspected, or his agent, that arrangements must be made with the Building Commissioner for an inspection appointment within ten (10) days of such notice. The owner or agent, upon consent, shall cause the entire structure to be accessible for inspection at the time arranged, which shall be during regular business hours. If the owner or agent, or an occupant, refuses to consent to an inspection of the subject property, or if consent is otherwise unobtainable, the Commissioner or his or her agent shall not make such inspection without first obtaining a search warrant. No license shall be issued or renewed if any violation of City Ordinances, the Fire Prevention Code or State law exists. 1319.06 SUSPENSION OF LICENSE. The Building Commissioner may suspend the license required in Section 1319.03, upon finding or being advised by the Fire Chief or Police Chief that such premises are in violation of any provision of this chapter or any other ordinance or resolution of the City. 1319.07 CANCELLATION OF LICENSE; NOTIFICATION. The Building Commissioner may cancel any license issued hereunder and withdraw a certificate of occupancy for any rental unit when a violation of a State law, the Fire Prevention Code, or City ordinance has been found to exist on the premises in excess of thirty days after notice has been sent to the owner of such rental unit. Notification for the purpose of this section shall be by certified or registered mail to the owner at the address shown on the Application required by Section 1319.04 or, if no application has been filed, by the Cuyahoga County tax duplicate records. Notwithstanding the requirement of notice provided herein, when in the opinion of the Building Commissioner the condition of the structure or premises, or a part thereof, constitutes an immediate hazard to human life or health, or when a prior violation notice has been sent to the owner or agent for the same or similar violation, then no such notice of violation need be given to the owner or agent of the structure containing a rental unit. 1319.08 APPEALS. In case the Building Commissioner refuses to issue a license or cancels or suspends a license, the applicant may appeal from such order to the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals. The procedure for such appeal shall be consistent with Chapter 1315 of the North Olmsted Codified Ordinances. 1319.09 DUTIES OF MANAGEMENT.
