GALLAGHER, Associate Judge:
This case involves consolidated petitions for review of two decisions by respondent, the District of Columbia Board of Appeals and Review (Board), upholding the noting of violations of the District of Columbia Housing Regulations. In No. 79-304, the Board sustained an order issued by the Department of Housing and Community Development to correct the noted violations, and in No. 79 — 457, the Board sustained the denial of an apartment house license by the Department of Economic Development based on the noting of such violations. In each case, petitioner, Talley R. Holmes, Jr., bases his challenge to the Board’s actions on the contention that warrantless searches for the purpose of conducting housing inspections in individual, private apartment units violate the Housing Regulations. Therefore, he says, the Board’s action is capricious and contrary to law. Petitioner also contends that the inspections violated his Fourth Amendment guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure. We affirm. No. 79-304
