(A) Whenever inspections of the premises used for, or in connection with, the operation of a licensed business of occupation are provided for or required by ordinance, or are reasonably necessary to secure compliance with any ordinance provision or to detect violations thereof, 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 the inspection any officer or employee of the city who is authorized or directed to make the inspection at any reasonable time that admission is requested.
(B) Whenever an analysis of any commodity or material is reasonably necessary to secure conformance with any ordinance provision or to detect violations thereof, it shall be the duty of the licensee of the municipality whose business is governed by the provision to give to any authorized officer or employee of the city requesting the same sufficient samples of the material or commodity for the analysis.
(C) In addition to any other penalty which may be provided, the City Controller may revoke the license of any licensed proprietor of any licensed business in the city who refuses to permit any such officer or employee who is authorized to make inspection or take the sample to make the inspection or take an adequate sample of the commodity, or who interferes with the officer or employee while in the performance of his or her duty in making the inspection. No license shall be revoked for the cause unless written demand is made on the licensee or person in charge of the premises, in the name of the city, stating that the inspection or sample is desired at the time it is sought to make the inspection or obtain the sample.
