After receipt from the department of business affairs and consumer protection of a notice of violation by the licensee, as evidenced by said inspection report, but before the allotted time has elapsed for compliance, the licensee may request a hearing to file exceptions to the inspection report or may request an extension of the time allowed for compliance. Such appeal must be filed within three days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official city holidays) of the receipt of such notice of violation.
If, upon such second inspection, it is found that the licensee is in continued violation of this chapter or the rules and regulations promulgated by the department of business affairs and consumer protection hereunder, the license may be temporarily suspended.
Upon suspension of the license the Chicago Police Department shall be notified of the suspension and shall enforce the cessation of operation of the ambulance.
