A. It shall be unlawful for any person to erect, construct, reconstruct, use or alter any building or structure or to use any land in violation of this title. Any person who violates any provisions of this title shall be deemed guilty of a Class B municipal offense as provided in PMC 11.01.030. Each such person shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or portion thereof during which any violation of the provisions of this title are committed, continued or permitted. Nothing contained in this title shall be construed to prevent the Town from pursuing any other remedies it may have.

B. In case any building or structure is proposed to be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, or used or any land is proposed to be used in violation of this title, the Town, in addition to other remedies provided by law, may institute an appropriate action to prevent, enjoin, abate, or remove the violation to prevent the occupancy of the building, structure, or land, or to prevent any illegal act or use.

C. Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any provision contained within this title or any condition or requirement of a permit or other land use approval issued pursuant to this title, or whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that a violation of this title or any permit or any other land use approval issued pursuant to this title exists in any building or upon any real property within the jurisdiction of the Town, the Town Manager, or his designee, or the Town’s Code Enforcement Officer, as designated and provided for in Chapter 3.30 PMC, or a police officer may, upon presentation of proper credentials, enter such building or real property at all reasonable times to inspect the same or to perform any duty imposed upon him by the Parachute Municipal Code; provided, that if such building or real property is unoccupied, the authorized official shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner or other persons who have charge or control of the building or of the real property and request entry. If the entry is refused, or the owner cannot be located, the Town Manager, his authorized designee, or the Code Enforcement Officer, or any peace officer, is expressly authorized to obtain a search warrant from the Parachute Municipal Code pursuant to Rule 241(b)(2) of the Colorado Municipal Court Rules of Procedure in order to conduct and complete the inspection.
