(A) (1) Any persons affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this subchapter, or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Health Officer; provided that, such person shall file in the office of the Health Officer a written petition requesting such hearing within ten days after the day the notice was served.
(2) Upon receipt of such petition, the Health Officer shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. At such hearing the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to be heard and to show why such notice should be modified or withdrawn.
(3) The hearing shall be commenced not later than ten days after the day on which the petition was filed; provided, that upon application of the petitioner the Health Officer may postpone the date of the hearing for a reasonable time beyond such ten-day period if, in this judgement, the petitioner has submitted a good and sufficient reason for such postponement.
(B) (1) After such hearing, the Health Officer shall sustain, modify, or withdraw the notice, depending upon his or her finding as to whether the provisions of this subchapter and of the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto have been complied with.
(2) If the Health Officer sustains or modifies such notice, it shall be deemed to be an order. Any notice served pursuant to § 150.52 shall automatically become an order if a written petition for a hearing is not filed in the office of the Health Officer within ten days after such notice is served. After a hearing, in the case of any notice suspending any permit required by this subchapter or by any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, when such notice has been sustained by the Health Officer, the permit shall be deemed to have been revoked. Any such permit which has been suspended by a notice shall be deemed to be automatically revoked if a petition for hearing is not filed in the office of the Health Officer within ten days after such notice is served.
