   (a)   In addition to any other penalty provided by law, if an inspection indicates that the condition of a licensee's operation or premises creates an imminent hazard to the public health or safety or to the health or safety of any child within the children's services facility, the commissioner may immediately close the facility until such time that the condition(s) causing the hazard is corrected. Upon closure of the licensed facility, all operations related to the license shall immediately cease. The commissioner may cause a "notice of closure" sign to be conspicuously placed upon the closed licensee's premises. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove a "notice of closure" sign placed on the licensee's premises unless authorized to do so by the commissioner. Upon closure, a licensee may, at any time, apply for restoration of the license. Within 48 hours after the commissioner receives an application for restoration of the license, which shall be accompanied by a statement, signed by the licensee, certifying that the conditions giving rise to the imminent hazard have been corrected and that the facility is in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Code, the commissioner shall cause a reinspection of the licensed premises to determine whether the conditions that caused the hazard have been corrected. A reinspection fee in the amount set forth in Section 4-4-135 shall be assessed against the licensee for each necessary or appropriate inspection conducted by or caused to be conducted by the commissioner to address the previously identified Code violation(s). In addition to any penalties provided by law, the licensee shall be liable for the actual costs incurred by the City to abate, remediate, repair or remove the conditions that gave rise to the violation.

   (b)   For purposes of this section, the term "children's services facility" shall include any institution or place, regardless of nomenclature, which provides recreational, educational or cognitive activities to children who are apart from their parent or guardian.
