Powers of a city judge

  1.  issue inspection (search) warrants for code enforcement action?
  2. issue court order(s) with specific time limits to remediate code violations? We know judge can issue fines; we’re looking for code enforcement orders based on adopted city ordinances.
  3. issue arrest warrants for repeat violators?
