The director or the director's authorized representative shall, during normal business hours, have access to places where distributors or retailers sell, store or maintain plumbing fixtures and to unoccupied new residential construction for the purpose of making periodic inspections to determine compliance with this article. New residential construction shall only be inspected prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy or upon final electrical inspection. Inspections pursuant to this section shall be on reasonable notice to the owner or occupant of the premises to be inspected unless reasonable grounds exist to believe that such notice would frustrate the enforcement of this article. The director may, and if required by law shall, apply for and obtain warrants for entry and inspection to carry out the administration and enforcement purposes of this article.
