Can't reach tenants via phone, snail mail, or e-mail

[Christian Nachtrieb]

I might be jumping to conclusions or overreacting, but I'm having an impossible time reaching my tenants. They are Section 8, and 100% of their rent is subsidized by the city so I'm at least getting paid, however both the husband and wife have had their cell phones disconnected and are not responding to messages. I went down yesterday to ring their bell (it's second floor of a multi-family) and no answer.

Should I be concerned? At what point do I call the police if there's a legitimate worry regarding their safety or the safety of their two kids?

@Dave G. I would still need them to let me in correct? 

Why?  Don't you have a key? Just follow the rules regarding notice  - posting on the door should be sufficient since they aren't responding otherwise - then take a witness with you and do your inspection.
