A. Whenever upon inspection of any rooming house, the chief code enforcement officer finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any provision of this chapter, the chief code enforcement officer shall give notice in writing that unless such conditions and practices are corrected within a fifteen-day period, which period may be extended by written notice by the chief code enforcement officer, the operation of such premises as a rooming house shall be discontinued, and if such rooming house operation is licensed by any duly constituted governmental agency, a recommendation that such license be revoked, for the protection of public health, shall be given to such licensing governmental body or agency by the chief code enforcement officer.
B. At the end of such period the chief code enforcement officer shall reinspect such rooming house, and if he finds that such conditions or practices have not been corrected, he shall give notice in writing to the operator that such operations shall cease, and if such rooming house operation is licensed by any duly constituted governmental agency, the chief code enforcement officer shall recommend the immediate revocation of such license by such issuing agency.
C. Upon receipt of such notice from the chief code enforcement officer, each operator shall immediately cease operation of such rooming house, and no person shall occupy, for living or sleeping purposes, any rooming unit therein. (Prior code § 11-35)
