   Vince DeLuca, left, prepares Friday to videotape Frank Cassidy, center, supervisor of code enforcement for the city of Bonita Springs, as he performs his inspection of the home that DeLuca rents in Bonita. DeLuca was videotaping the inspection after his objections to the invasion of privacy. City code enforcement officials obtained a warrant to enter his home because a city ordinance that was passed last year giving code enforcement the ability to enter a renter's residence if they believe there are code violations in the house.
   ...
   Frank Cassidy, supervisor of Bonita Springs Code Enforcement, carried out the inspection, walking through the home, testing fire alarms, turning on water faucets and opening cupboards.
   
   "Good, good, good," said Cassidy, checking off a list of items on his clipboard before telling DeLuca the home had passed inspection.
   ...
   The law is not meant to be intrusive but as a way to protect tenants from property owners who fail to keep rental units up to par, Cassidy said.It was adopted under a state statute that allows municipalities to create ordinances and assign penalties for not following them.
   
   "It's for the tenant's protection that we do this," Cassidy said.
   ...
   The city has roughly 2,000 to 3,000 more rental inspections to carry out, said Cassidy, who pointed out the ordinance is not even a year old.The city is still working to educate residents on how it works, Cassidy said.
   
   Under the ordinance, city code enforcement is allowed to search homes being rented by people like DeLuca every 12 months, but condominiums and gated communities that provide rental units are exempt.
   
   "We have a tough job here," Cassidy said."We're going onto people's private properties."

   Code Enforcement Supervisor Frank Cassidy submitted a letter of resignation to City Manager Gary Price today while Parks and Recreation Director Jack Campbell announced his resignation last week, upon Price's request.
   ...
   Cassidy has accepted a position with the City of Cape Coral, where he lives, as the code compliance division manager.
   
   "I'm very upset at having to leave Bonita springs.It's a great place to work," Cassidy said.
   
   With the new position, Cassidy said he'll be responsible for managing a staff of about 40 people, compared to the eight employees in Bonita's code enforcement office.
   
   Instead of spending two and a half hours commuting between the Cape and Bonita, Cassidy said he'd be able to spend more time with his two young children.
   
   The Cape will also be paying Cassidy a higher salary, one that Price said Bonita can't match.
   
   For the 2005-06 fiscal year, Cassidy earned $52,000.
   
   Cassidy has been with the city since 2005, when Bonita formed its own code enforcement office.
   
   In fact, he credits his time in Bonita for his new job.
   
   "I believe it was the benchmark for the city of Cape Coral offering me the position," Cassidy said.
