2. Inspections for Cause
The Board may also inspect a community for compliance with the Board's statute and rules in response to a complaint; on the basis of information indicating the possibility of a violation of statute or rule; or in the discretion of the executive director or an inspector of the Board, which discretion shall not be abused.
