(A) Revocation or suspension after hearing.
(1) Upon a complaint filed by the Building Commissioner as to violations of this subchapter by the holder of any contractor license issued under this chapter, the Building Commissioner or his or her duly authorized representative shall upon repeated violations of this chapter issue fines not to exceed $25 for the first violation, $50 for the second violation; the issuance of the third violation shall be $100 and immediately cause written notice of the complaint to be mailed to the licensee. The notice shall state the nature of the complaint and the time which the Commission has fixed for a hearing thereon. If, after the hearing, the Building Commission is of the opinion that the complaint is justified, it shall have the power to revoke or suspend the license of the licensee.
(2) In addition to any penalty provided under this subchapter, after a license has been revoked, a new license shall not be issued to the applicant until all violations theretofore committed have been corrected, unless the applicant is prevented from correcting them by inability to secure the consent of the owner of the property or other causes beyond his or her control.
(B) Automatic suspension. Failure on the part of any commercial contractor, residential contractor, electrical or heating, ventilation and air conditioning contractor to correct any defect, error or deficiency in any work within 15 calendar days after notification thereof, or within such further reasonable time as may, upon request, be prescribed, shall automatically and without further notice, stop the issuance of permits to the licensee until the corrections have been made, inspected and approved. The Building Commissioner shall be promptly notified upon the correction of any defect, errors or deficiency.
