A. Issuance:
1. Any person desiring to operate a food establishment shall make written application for a permit, license or certificate on forms provided by the village. Such application shall include the name and address of each applicant, the location and type of the proposed food establishment and the signature of each applicant.
2. Prior to approval of an application for a permit, license or certificate, the village and the Cook County department of public health shall inspect the proposed food establishment to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
3. The village shall issue a permit, license or certificate to the applicant if its inspection reveals that the proposed food establishment complies with the requirements of this chapter.
B. Suspension Or Revocation:
1. The village may, without warning, notice or hearing, suspend or revoke any permit, license or certificate to operate a food establishment if the holder of the permit, license or certificate does not comply with the requirements of this chapter, or if the operation of the food establishment otherwise constitutes a substantial hazard to public health. Suspension or revocation is effective upon service of the notice required by section 4-3-4 of this chapter. When a permit, license or certificate is suspended or revoked, food operations shall immediately cease. Whenever a permit, license or certificate is suspended or revoked, the holder of the permit, license or certificate shall be afforded an opportunity for hearing within twenty (20) days of receipt of a request for hearing.
2. Whenever a permit, license or certificate is suspended or revoked, the holder of the permit, license or certificate, or the person in charge shall be notified in writing that the permit, license or certificate is, upon service of the notice, immediately suspended or revoked and that an opportunity for hearing will be provided if a written request for hearing is filed with the village by the holder of the permit, license or certificate within ten (10) days. If no written request for hearing is filed within ten (10) days, the suspension or revocation is sustained. The village may end the action at any time if reasons for suspension or revocation no longer exist.
3. The village may, after providing opportunity for hearing, suspend or revoke the permit, license or certificate for serious or repeated violations of any of the requirements of this chapter or for interference with the village or the Cook County department of public health in the performance of duty. Prior to suspension or revocation, the village shall notify, in writing, the holder of the permit, license or certificate, or the person in charge, of the specific reason(s) for which the permit, license or certificate is suspended or revoked and that the permit, license or certificate shall be suspended or revoked upon service of such notice unless a written request for hearing is filed with the village by the holder of the permit, license or certificate within ten (10) days. If no request for hearing is filed within the ten (10) day period, the suspension or revocation of the permit, license or certificate becomes effective and final. (Ord. O-27-92, 10-26-1992)
