(A) Whenever on inspection of any rooming house, the Enforcement Officer finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any applicable provision of this chapter, the Enforcement Officer shall give notice in writing that unless such conditions or practices are corrected within a reasonable period, to be determined by the Enforcement Officer, the operation of such premises as such rooming house shall be discontinued, and, if such rooming house operation is licensed by any 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 Enforcement Officer. At the end of such period the 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 operation shall cease, and, if such rooming house operation is licensed by any governmental agency, the Enforcement Officer shall recommend the immediate revocation of such license by such issuing agency.
(B) On receipt of such notice from the Enforcement Officer, the operator shall immediately cease operating of the rooming house, and no person shall occupy, for sleeping or living purposes, any rooming unit therein.
(C) Any person who has received notice from the Enforcement Officer to cease operation of a rooming house, unless existing conditions or practices at the rooming house are corrected, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Review Board under the procedure provided by §§ 152.02 through 152.12. If no petition for such hearing is filed within ten days following the day on which such operation was ordered discontinued, such order requiring correction of conditions or practices at such rooming house and cessation of operations as a rooming house shall be deemed to have become the final order of the Board ordering such cessation of operations.
