(a) Any person whose application for a license renewal to operate a rooming house has been denied or suspended by the Building Division for reasons set forth in this chapter, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Planning Commission and in the same manner as an appeal for violation as set forth in subsection (b) hereof.
(b) Whenever, upon inspection of any rooming house, conditions or practices are found to exist which are in violation of any provision of the applicable Housing, Building or Fire Codes or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the Building Division shall give notice in writing to the operator of the rooming house and the Planning Commission that unless such conditions or practices are corrected within thirty days, the operator's rooming house license shall be suspended. At the end of the period, upon reinspection of the rooming house, and if the conditions or practices have not been corrected, the Building Division shall give notice in writing to the operator and the Planning Commission that the latter's license has been suspended.
(c) Any person whose license to operate a rooming house has been suspended, or who has received notice from the Building Division that his/her license is to be suspended unless existing conditions or practices at this rooming house are corrected, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Planning Commission. If no petition for such hearing is filed within ten days following the day on which such license was suspended, the license shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked.
