Almost universally, 24 hour notice is sufficient to meet the legal requirement of notice prior to an inspection (or an entry for purposes of non-emergeny maintenance or to market the unit or building). That's not to say that additional notice might not be appropriate, but if the landlord has provided 24 hours notice, he or she has almost certainly met his or her minimum obligations.
