Before any license is issued by the Commissioner of Health shall cause an inspection to be made of the premises to be occupied by the applicant as a food dispenser, the equipment contained therein, the persons to be employed therein, the sanitary and hygienic features and conditions, and all other matters relating to the business which the Commissioner considers it is necessary or proper to inquire into from the standpoint of health and sanitation. If the Commissioner of Health is satisfied from the inspection that the place where the business is to be conducted is in a sanitary condition and a fit and proper place for the business and that all the provisions of this subchapter relating to the conduct of the business have been observed, the Commissioner shall approve the application, and thereupon, upon the payment of the license fee herein provided, the Mayor may issue a license to the applicant to conduct the business at the place during the year for which the license is issued. The Mayor may revoke the license at any time by notice in writing whenever it shall appear to the Mayor’s satisfaction from the recommendation of the Commissioner of Health or otherwise that the licensee has violated the provisions of any state or city law relating to the carrying on of the business of food dispenser and has failed to correct the violation upon due notice from the Commissioner of Health. In addition to the preliminary inspection herein provided for, the Commissioner of Health shall cause periodical inspections to be made of the place and personnel employed for the purpose of determining whether all the requirements of this subchapter and the state health and sanitation laws are being complied with. The periodical inspections shall be made with special reference to the requirements of § 115.040 of this chapter.
