(1) Zoning, building, and fire regulations must be enforced on
unlicensed and improperly located storage facilities when the existence
of the facility becomes known and not just when a complaint is made.

investigate instances of violations by self-storage facilities. These
inspections must be performed during regular, ongoing zoning, building,
and fire regulation inspections.
