A. Investigation Of Applicant: Upon the receipt of an application for a license or permit where ordinances of the village necessitate an inspection or investigation before the issuance of such permit or license, the village clerk shall refer such application to the proper officer for making such investigation within forty eight (48) hours of the time of such receipt. The officer charged with the duty of making the investigation or inspection shall make a report thereon, favorable or otherwise, within ten (10) days after receiving the application or a copy thereof. The health officer shall make or cause to be made all inspections in connection with such licenses for the protection of health, the care and handling of food and the prevention of nuisances and of the spread of disease; the building inspector shall make or cause to be made any such inspections relative to the construction of buildings or other structures; and the Pleasant View fire protection district shall make all inspections pursuant to the agreement between said district and the village. All other investigations, except where otherwise provided, shall be made by the chief of police or by some officer designated by the president.
B. Inspections; Analyses:
1. Whenever inspections of the premises used for or in connection with the operation of a licensed business or occupation are provided for or required by ordinance or statute, or are reasonably necessary to secure compliance with any ordinance provision or statute or to detect violations thereof, or for protection of health and safety or public welfare, or under the police powers, it shall be the duty of the licensee or the person in charge of the premises to be inspected to admit thereto for the purpose of making such inspection, any officer or employee of the village who is authorized or directed to make such inspection at any reasonable time that admission is requested. (1985 Code § 3-1-5)
2. Whenever the analysis of any commodity or material is reasonably necessary to secure conformance with any ordinance provision or statute or to detect violations thereof, it shall be the duty of any licensee of the village whose business is governed by such provision to give any authorized officer or employee of the village requesting the same sufficient samples of such material or commodity for such analysis upon request; provided, however, if state law shall govern the distribution of such material or commodity, jurisdiction of such analysis shall be exclusively with the state. (1985 Code § 3-1-5; amd. 2016 Code)
3. In addition to any other penalty which may be provided, the president may revoke the license of any licensed proprietor or any licensed business in the village who refuses to permit any such officer or employee who is authorized to make such inspection or take such sample to make the inspection or take an adequate sample of the desired commodity, or who interferes with such officer or employee while in the performance of his duty in making such inspection; provided, that no license shall be revoked for such cause unless written demand is made upon the licensee or person in charge of the premises, in the name of the village, stating that such inspection or sample is desired at the time it is sought to make the inspection or obtain the sample. (1985 Code § 3-1-5)
