§ 20-123. Inspection and abatement warrants.

Upon presentation to a magistrate by an inspector of facts sufficient to constitute probable cause to believe that a violation exists which requires immediate abatement because it presents an imminent danger or threat to human life or health, an inspection and abatement warrant may be issued by the magistrate. All of the requirements for issuance of both an inspection warrant and an abatement warrant must be met for the issuance of an inspection and abatement warrant, except that the inspector's sworn statement is not required to reflect the inspector's personal knowledge of the existence of the violation to be abated where sufficient facts are presented to constitute probable cause to believe that the violation exists. An inspection and abatement warrant issued pursuant to this chapter shall be sufficient it if contains all of the formalities for issuance of both an inspection warrant and an abatement warrant.
