Ansonia, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 18 § 18-4a

The code official is hereby authorized and directed to make periodic inspections within the purview of this chapter and such inspections as are required by a code compliance program of the City of Ansonia, by and with the consent of the owner, occupant or person in charge, to determine the condition of dwellings, dwelling units, rooming units and premises within this city for the purpose of determining compliance with the provisions of this chapter or this Code. Occupants may also request inspections under this chapter or this Code. (a)
For the purpose of making such inspections, the code official, with the consent of the owner, occupant or person in charge, is hereby authorized to enter, examine and survey all dwellings, dwelling units, rooming units and premises at such time mutually satisfactory to and agreed upon by the code official and the owner or occupant of a dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit or the person in charge thereof. Such inspection, examination or survey shall not have for its purpose the undue harassment of the owner or occupant, and such inspection, examination or survey shall be made so as to cause the least amount of inconvenience to said owner or occupant, consistent with an efficient performance of the duties of the code official. To further ensure that the policy of this chapter, which is to achieve compliance through cooperation of owners and occupants, shall be successfully maintained, it shall be the practice of the code official, whenever practicable, to provide reasonable advance notice to owners and/or occupants of projected special inspections or inspections of a routine nature. Ultimately, no owner or occupant of a residential rental housing unit or rooming unit may unreasonably withhold from the code official consent to access the premises for the purpose of performing any inspection authorized by this Code.
(b) The occupant of each dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises, or the person in charge thereof, upon presentation by the code official of his/her proper credentials, may give the code official entry to the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises and free access to every part thereof.
(c) Whenever an owner, occupant or person in charge of a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises shall deny the code official right of entry for the purpose of inspection, examination or survey, the code official shall not enter until he/she presents a duly issued search warrant or other written authorization describing the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises to the owner, occupant or person in charge thereof.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude the entry of the code official at any time when, in his/her judgment, an emergency tending to create an immediate danger to the public welfare or safety exists, or when such entry is requested by the owner, occupant or person in charge of the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises, or when the code official presents a duly issued search warrant to said owner or occupant or person in charge thereof.
