Pursuant to SCC 30.85.070, whenever it is necessary to make an inspection to enforce the provisions of the fire code, or whenever the fire marshal has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in a building or upon any premises any conditions or violations of the fire code which make the building or premises unsafe, dangerous or hazardous, the fire marshal shall have the authority to enter the building or premises at all reasonable times to inspect or to perform the duties imposed upon the fire marshal by the fire code. If such building or premises is occupied, the fire marshal shall present credentials to the occupant and request entry. If such building or premises is unoccupied, the fire marshal shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other person having charge or control of the building or premises and request entry. If entry is refused, the fire marshal has recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry.
