Apart from failing to explain why this “probable cause” requirement should apply only to the individual apartment units and not the common areas, petitioner ignores both the content and the context of §§ 1301 and 2701. Both are subsections under articles dealing with notice, appeals and hearings. It is apparent from this context and from the plain language of the subsections that “reasonable grounds” must exist before an inspector reports violations to his superior, who then sends a notice to the landlord. Reasonable grounds exist after the inspection.
