I had to laugh when I read this post as I am the Building Inspector for the small town I live in. First you are absolutely correct about the need for a warrant to enter someones home without their consent. The inspector was way out of line to "demand" entry. I can't count the number monthly inspector meetings where we go over where you can go or what you can do, who can legally give permission to enter, ect. when it comes to inspections. I'll tell you how this senerio generally plays out in my town. I get a call from the Town Clerk or Selectman that your Brother "Bob's" neighbor has reported that Bob is doing work without a permit and states that it is an injustice that he has to pull a permit and Bob does not. I then call Bob, whom I have known all my life, and ask Bob if he is doing a renovation, 99% of the time he says yep, then goes on to tell me that he has replaced the cabinets and removed the wall between the unused bedroom and the kitchen to give the old lady more room, ect. I tell Bob you need to pull a permit, he says oh, i'm sorry, I didn't realize it, I'll be in Wednesday night to square things up. For the one percent who lie and say "nope no renovation going on here, the cabinets are from my basement". The first thing i'll do is let the assessors know, they will raise his property valuation $50,000 and make him abate it with proof and a building permit that the value of renovation was only $5,000. But the bigger thing is that I have learned that this man's word, integrity and honor is worth less than a $15 permit fee and $75 per year of taxes, but the thing is, once you've lost your integrity you can never get it back.
