(A) (1) The City Health Inspectors may, without warning, notice or hearing, suspend any permit, license or certificate to operate a food establishment if the holder of the permit, license or certificate does not comply with the requirements of this subchapter, or if the operation of the establishment does not comply with the requirements of this subchapter, or if the operation of the food establishment otherwise constitutes a substantial hazard to public health.
(2) When a permit, license or certificate is suspended, food operations shall immediately cease. Within seven days of a suspension, the Health Inspector shall call a hearing for the purposes of determining whether the license should be revoked.
(B) Whenever a permit, license or certificate is suspended or denied, the holder of the permit, license or certificate, or the person in charge shall be notified in writing that the permit, license or certificate is, upon service of the notice, immediately suspended or denied and that an opportunity for hearing will be provided if a written request for hearing is filed with the city by the holder of the permit, license or certificate within ten days. If no written request for hearing is filed within ten days, the suspension or denial is sustained. The city may end the suspension or permit denial at any time if reasons for the suspension or denial no longer exist.
