The notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of the trailer court.

(F) Whenever upon inspection of any trailer court the Health Officer finds that conditions or practices exist which are in violation of any provision of this chapter or of any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the Health Officer shall give notice in writing to the person to whom the permit was issued; and unless the conditions or practices are corrected within a reasonable period of time to be determined by the Health Officer, the permit will be suspended. At the end of that period, the Health Officer shall reinspect the trailer court, and if he or she finds that the conditions or practices have not been corrected, he or she shall give notice in writing to the person to whom the permit is issued that the permit has been suspended. Upon receipt of notice of suspension, the person shall cease operation of the trailer court.
(G) Any person whose permit has been suspended, or who has received notice from the Health Officer that his or her permit is to be suspended unless existing conditions or practices at the trailer court are corrected, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Health Officer under the procedure provided by § 151.04; provided, that if no petition for the hearing is filed within ten days following the day on which the permit was suspended, the permit shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked.
