>when a local code enforcement officer noticed that a garden hose was illegally attached to the back of the building. That led city officials to obtain a search warrant

This scares me more than whatever danger the unlicensed might have posed.

An abandoned warehouse, draining fluid into a parking lot from a garden hose, isn’t probable cause?

Actually, yeah. I'm assuming the warrant was granted to police and that code enforcement don't get to do their own no-knock-warrants. That helps a little but not much.
