Any person affected by any notice issued under this chapter or resulting regulations may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the city council; provided, that the person shall file with the inspection officer a written request for such hearing and setting forth briefly the grounds for such request within ten (10) days after the day the notice was served. When no request for such hearing shall have been filed within ten (10) days following the day on which notice of suspension was served, such license shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked at the expiration of such ten (10) day period. The filing of such request shall stay the notice of suspension of permits and licenses, except in cases of orders issued under this chapter. The hearing shall be held by the city council at the earliest possible time. (2000 Code § 12-620)
