Inspection.
Riverside Municipal Code § 6.16.060
in effect6.16.060 - Inspection.
The Enforcement Official, or personnel acting under his or her direction, may enter upon private or public property whenever necessary to enforce or administer the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, that this right of entry and inspection shall not be construed to grant the right to enter into any dwelling or structure which may be located on the land. Should the City determine that there is a reasonable expectation of privacy of the property owner with respect to the dwelling unit to be inspected, the City may request an inspection warrant pursuant to the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure § 1822.50 et seq., which warrant shall state the location which it covers and state the purposes of the inspection. When there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as with respect to an abandoned dwelling or building, the Enforcement Official may enter onto that property without a warrant in order to inspect the property for the purposes of determining whether the provisions of this chapter have been violated.
