(a) Grounds. The Director may suspend or revoke a license for:
(1) performing or permitting the performance of defective or dangerous work;
(2) permitting an unlicensed person to utilize the license to secure a permit from the Department;
(3) securing a permit for the use of an unlicensed person whose work is not done under the licensee's supervision;
(4) failing to correct a violation within 30 days after having been notified of the violation by the Department; and
(5) a violation of the provisions of this article.
(b) Hearing. Except for a suspension under § 11-1-103, a license may be suspended or revoked only after a hearing before the Director and the applicable Board or Commission. At least 14 days before the hearing, the Director shall notify the licensee by certified mail of the nature, time, and place of the alleged violation, the date, hour, and place of the hearing, and possible penalties. If the Director revokes or suspends the license, the licensee shall surrender the license immediately. When justified by the circumstances, the Director may issue a written warning to the licensee or may allow the licensee to rectify the violation within a specified time.
(c) Advice of Board or Commission. In all matters of suspension and revocation, the Director shall seek the advice and guidance of the applicable Board or Commission but is not bound by that advice.
