(B) It shall be unlawful and a violation of this subchapter for a person who operates a sexually oriented business, or his or her agent or employee, to refuse to permit a lawful inspection of the premises at any time that it is occupied or open for business, whether or not a permit has been issued for such business under this subchapter. Such violation is punishable by a fine of up to $750 for each and every day the operator or his or her agent or employee refuses to allow the inspection.
