This is a 2-family home and the access is through the bulkhead door leading to a locked door in the basement

I don't know what to advise here in this situation. You may have to give the utility access, but I would talk to a lawyer first to make sure this could not get you in trouble especially if you end up having to evict this tenant.

If the basement is not a part of the tenant's rental or for his ancilliary use (it is locked and he is not allowed access), then it is a maintenance area in your control and you can allow the utility company access for any reason. It's not your job to bar the way and keep the utility company at bay while your tenant screws them.
