(a) The registration of any person who violates this chapter or permits the same to be violated by any employee or agency, or who willingly makes a false statement in any application for a registration or who permits any registration issued to him or her to be used in any manner not authorized by this chapter, shall be subject to temporary suspension or permanent revocation by the Building Code Board of Appeals upon referral from the Superintendent of Building and Zoning regardless of whether or not criminal proceedings have been instituted. Such revocation shall take effect only after a hearing on the revocation which shall be given at least five days prior thereto. Notice of such hearing shall be sent to the registrant personally or by leaving a copy at a place of business designated in the registration theretofore existing.
(b) As a preliminary to revocation, any registration issued by the City may be placed on probation by the Superintendent of Building and Zoning or his or her assignee, for just cause. Just cause shall include violation of this chapter or any other applicable provisions of these Codified Ordinances. Any such probation shall be put into effect by serving a notice thereof upon the registrant personally or by leaving a copy at his or her place of business as designated in the registration. Such notice shall specify the reason for the probation and the period of time, in no case exceeding 60 days, within which the condition causing the probation must be corrected and may state that unless such correction is made within such time the registration will be revoked.
