Authority of inspectors; limitation.

A. A state certified inspector may, during reasonable hours, enter any building or go upon any premises in the discharge of the inspector's official duties for the purpose of making an inspection of work performed or for the purpose of testing any installation authorized within the jurisdiction of the inspector's trade certification. The inspector may cut or disconnect, or have cut or disconnected in cases of emergency, an installation or device when necessary for safety to life or property or where the installation may interfere with the work of a fire department. B. The inspector may disconnect or order the discontinuance of service to any installation, device, appliance or equipment found to be dangerous to life or property because it is defective or is incorrectly installed, until the installation, device, appliance or equipment is made safe and is approved by the inspector. C. The inspector may order the correction of any defects or any incorrect installation that prompted the disconnection and discontinuance of service. D. In all cases where disconnection is made, a notice shall be attached by the inspector to the installation, device, appliance or equipment disconnected, which notice shall state that the same has been disconnected by or on order of the inspector and the reason for the disconnection. It is unlawful for a person to remove the notice or to use the installation, device, appliance or equipment without authorization of an inspector. E. The division shall by regulation adopt official inspection stickers or medallions for the purpose of identifying those modular homes and premanufactured homes that have been inspected and found to comply with all requirements of the state codes and standards. State inspection and acceptance for use of modular homes and premanufactured homes shall exclusively apply to the use and occupancy of such dwellings in the state and in any of its political subdivisions, subject to the requirements of local planning and zoning ordinances and ordinances requiring permits and inspections for foundations, electrical and mechanical hookups or other safety or sanitary requirements.
