[Amended 6-26-2017 by Ord. No. 54-2017]
A. The Property Maintenance Division may, without prior warning, notice or hearing, suspend any permit(s) to engage in a vending operation if the operation constitutes a substantial hazard to public health. Suspension is effective upon service of the notice required by Subsection B. When any permit is suspended, vending operations shall immediately cease. Whenever any permit is suspended, the operator shall be afforded the opportunity for a hearing with the Code and License Appeals Board within 20 days of receipt of a request for a hearing and the payment of an appeals fee as per City Code Chapter 212. The appeal fee shall be refunded if the appeal is successful.
B. Whenever any permit is suspended, the operator shall be notified in writing that the permit(s) is, upon service of this notice, immediately suspended and that an opportunity for a hearing will be provided if a written request of a hearing is filed with the Code and License Appeals Board by the operator within five days. If no request for hearing is filed within five days, the suspension is sustained. Prior to the hearing, the Property Maintenance Division may end the suspension if reasons for the suspension no longer exist.
C. A sustained suspension may be rescinded by the Code and License Appeals Board after the Property Maintenance Division has confirmed by inspection that the requirements of this Part have been satisfied.
D. The Code and License Appeals Board, in lieu of suspending any permit, may suspend applicability of the permit to a particular vending machine, machines or specific products.
