The commissioner may at any time suspend or revoke any indoor special event license issued under this Article if the event is operating in violation of this Code or any other applicable law, or if such suspension or revocation is necessary to preserve the health or safety of the public. At the time of the suspension or revocation, notice of the suspension or revocation with the reasons therefor shall be mailed to or served upon the licensee or any person designated by the licensee pursuant to this Article. Unless the license will expire by its own terms before a hearing can be reasonably scheduled, no such suspension or revocation shall take effect until the licensee has been given notice and an opportunity to be heard in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the department. If necessary to prevent an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public, the commissioner shall order the licensee to cease operation of the indoor special event pending the outcome of the hearing.
