The police can not enter your home without permission (unless an actual crime is in progress, or they have a no knock warrant) , neither can the building inspector, nor any other public official.

It is unlawful entry AND criminal trespass.. Breaking and entering is usually in reference to burglary as it requires a minimal application of force. The opening of an unlocked door is sufficient, however, entry via an already open door is insufficient. This does not require any actual breaking as minimal force or action of opening the door suffices to fulfil the requirments of the breaking and entering statutes... BUT you also have to contend with INTENT or actual commission of a crime and in this scenario there is none, so you're only option is to seek complaint for tresspassing
