Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit June 9, 1980, 79-2463 (Darryl R. Frey v. Charles M. Panza, Jr. Darryl R. Frey and Darryl R. Frey, Inc. v. Hampton Township, Darryl R. Frey and Darryl R. Frey, Inc.)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam:

The issue in this appeal is whether a municipal official may make warrantless inspections of houses under construction to assure compliance with the building code. The district court, after balancing the minimal privacy expectations of the builder and the significant governmental interest in safe construction, concluded that the inspections were permissible.
