The city may suspend, revoke or refuse to renew a license issued under this subchapter for good cause, as determined by the City Council. Annually the Health Officer, the Building Commissioner, the Fire Chief and the Electrical Inspector shall inspect each bed and breakfast establishment in the city for the purpose of determining whether such inspection reveals that a bed and breakfast establishment is not in compliance with this subchapter, the establishment’s license shall be suspended, revoked or not renewed, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this section of the subchapter to the contrary, no such license shall be suspended, revoked or not renewed, except after a public hearing by the City Council with at least three days’ prior written notice to the licensee, affording the licensee an opportunity to appear in person and/or by his or her legal counsel and to be heard by the City Council. The service of such notice may be made by delivering a copy of said notice to the licensee personally or by delivering a copy of said notice to some person who resided in the bed and breakfast establishment premises who is over 18 years of age and informing such person of the contents of such notice. The city shall, within five days after such hearing, advise the licensee in writing whether his or her license shall be suspended, revoked or not renewed; stating in said order of suspension, revocation or non-renewal the reason or reasons for such revocation, suspension or non-renewal. When the defect or defects complained of in the order of suspension, revocation or non-renewal are corrected by the licensee or his or her duly authorized agent, the licensee’s license shall be reinstated or renewed.
