Dilworth Ch. 152 Rental Units § 152.11 establishes that designated compliance officers have the legal authority to conduct inspections of registered rental dwellings and units when those inspections are reasonably necessary to enforce the chapter's requirements. Officers may enter such properties at all reasonable times, subject to the procedural framework set out in § 10.20 of the city's code of ordinances. The provision does not grant unlimited access; the entry must be tied to enforcement needs and must occur at reasonable hours.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.11, compliance officers are authorized to enter registered rental dwellings and units at all reasonable times to carry out inspections related to chapter enforcement. Operators who keep their properties registered and in compliance with Dilworth Ch. 152 generally maintain records and conditions that facilitate smooth inspection visits. Being familiar with the cross-referenced fee schedule at § 34.01 and the entry procedures outlined in § 10.20 helps property managers understand the full scope of their obligations when an inspection is scheduled or requested.

Section 152.11 of Dilworth's rental regulations gives compliance officers the right to inspect registered rental units at reasonable times, but that authority is bounded by the reasonableness standard and the procedural rules in § 10.20. Tenants in registered units should be aware that such inspections are a normal part of the city's enforcement process and are intended to uphold the protections the chapter provides. Those with questions about whether an inspection was conducted properly may wish to contact the city's relevant housing or code-enforcement office or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
