§ 157.230 INSPECTION.
   (A)   An applicant or permittee shall permit representatives of the village, the County Health Department and the Fire Department to inspect the premises of a sexually oriented business for the purpose of insuring compliance with the law, at any time it is occupied or open for business.
   (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. The village, at its discretion, may petition any court with jurisdiction to compel the operator to allow the inspection and for reimbursement of the village's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs associated with enforcement of this section. In addition, the refusal of an operator to comply with this provision shall be grounds for the suspension or revocation of his or her business license or any permit associated with the business.
