(A) The City Controller shall suspend or revoke a license issued under § 128.03 if the Controller determines that the licensee has knowingly permitted a violation of an ordinance, statute or regulation, whether local, state or federal, on the premises, the determination being based on investigation by the division, department or agency charged with enforcing the rule or law, as follows:
(1) Thirty day suspension for 1 violation within a 12-month period;
(2) Sixty day suspension for 2 violations within a 12-month period;
(3) Revocation of license for 3 violations within a 12-month period, and licensee may not reapply for a license for 1 year from the date of revocation.
(B) Each violation of a single provision of any ordinance, statute or regulation shall be considered a separate violation, even if the violations occurred during a single incident or at the same time.
(C) The City Controller shall notify the licensee in writing of its intent to suspend or revoke the license. A hearing will be held within 10 days after the notice at which the licensee may present evidence to controvert the Controller’s decision. The Controller must affirm or reverse its decision within 5 days after the hearing, at which point the revocation or suspension is effective.
(D) The City Controller’s decision may be appealed to the Board of Public Works And Safety within 30 days after final decision; and thereafter, to the Circuit or Superior Courts as provided for in law.
