A. Determination by the Fire Marshal to Order the Revocation of a Permit. Whenever the fire marshal determines that a permit was issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 16.48 of this title and CFC Section 105, as adopted by Chapter 16R.42 of Title 16R of this code based on a permit application or on plans and specifications or other data and information submitted as part of the permit application which contained a material misrepresentation of fact, that such permit authorizes an activity or operation which is in violation of the fire regulations adopted by this title, or that any activity or operation authorized by the permit is being conducted at a place or in a manner which violates the fire regulations adopted by this title and/or the terms and conditions of such permit, the fire marshal may, by service of the notice required by this section, order the revocation of such permit.
B. Service of Notice of Order Revoking a Permit. Upon determining to order the revocation of a permit issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 16.48 of this title and CFC Section 105, as adopted by Chapter 16R.42 of Title 16R of this code, the fire marshal shall cause a written notice of such order to be served on the person to whom the permit was issued. In addition to setting forth the order of the fire marshal revoking such permit, such notice shall contain a brief description of the reasons why the permit is being revoked and the action, if any, which may be taken in order to cause the permit to be reinstated or reissued, shall contain a statement of the right of a person aggrieved by the order to apply for administrative review of the order and to appeal the order in the manner provided for by Chapter 16.02 of this title, and shall advise the person upon whom the notice is served that unless and until such permit is reinstated or reissued, further participation in the activity or operation for which the permit was issued may subject such person to the misdemeanor penalties provided for in Section 16.52.090 of this chapter.
C. Effect of Order Revoking a Permit No person served with a notice of the order of the fire marshal revoking a permit issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 16.48 of this title and CFC Section 105, as adopted by Chapter 16R.42 of Title 16R of this code shall engage in any activity or conduct any operation for which the permit was issued unless and until such permit has been reinstated or reissued. Provided that, where the fire marshal has ordered a permit revoked because the application, the plans and specifications, or other data and information submitted as part of the permit application contained a material misstatement of fact, such permit shall not be reinstated or reissued unless a revised permit application has been filed, an additional permit fee has been paid and a new permit has been issued.
