It's not clear *why* search warrant was served or did this follow a
code enforcement inspection and then the police were called?


A search warrant is required for authorities (typically the police,
but could
apply to the fire marshal, building inspector or health inspector as
well)
when a home owner denies entry and refuses to grant permission for the
government agents to enter private property...

It is the ONLY legal way for the authorities to gain entrance to
private
property without some sort of exigent emergency situation existing...

The spot next to the neighbor where it was caving in should be enough
for an inspection.

It does resemble a gun turret.... "lets the weapon be aimed and fired
in many directions."
