Such appeal must be made within 10 days of notice of revocation, suspension, or denial. Upon receipt of notice of appeal, the Board of Public Works and Safety shall hold a hearing within 10 days.

(B) In the event of such an appeal, the following procedures shall govern, except to the extent a specific licensing ordinance provides otherwise:
(1) The applicant or licensee shall make the request for an appeal in writing to the secretary to the Board of Public Works and Safety and such notice is effective as of the date of receipt by the secretary; and
(2) Unless an extension is agreed upon by all parties, the Board of Public Works and Safety shall rule on the appeal within 10 days of its submission to the Board of Public Works and Safety and shall notify the applicant or licensee in writing of its ruling by regular and certified mail. The denial, suspension, or revocation shall be effective 30 days after the date of the decision of the Board of Public Works and Safety.
