(a) The license of a salvage yard operator may be suspended for a period of time specified by the Licensing Board or revoked by the Licensing Board for failure to comply with the provisions of Chapter 739 or on the basis that the Health Commissioner has certified to the Licensing Board the licensee is not complying with the conditions included in his license pursuant to subsection 739.07(j). However, such suspension or revocation shall not take place until the Chairman of the Licensing Board shall have first notified the salvage yard operator, calling specific attention to the infraction of Chapter 739 and/or that the Health Commissioner has certified to the Licensing Board the licensee is not complying with the conditions included in his license pursuant to subsection 739.07(j) and affording a minimum of fifteen days to correct such infractions, except in the case of an emergency order as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall:
(1) Be put in writing on an appropriate form;
(2) Include a list of violations, referring to the subsections violated, and order remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of such subsection and/or a statement that the Health Commissioner has certified to the Licensing Board that the licensee is not complying with the conditions included in his license pursuant to subsection 739.07(j);
(3) Specify a reasonable time for compliance, except in the case of an emergency order as hereinafter provided;
(4) Advise the salvage yard operator of the procedure for appeal;
(5) Be served upon the salvage yard operator. Such notice and order shall be deemed to be properly served upon such salvage yard operator if a copy thereof is sent by certified or registered mail to such salvage yard operator at the address on file with the Community Development Department or as stated in the salvage yard operator's application and a copy of the notice is posted in a conspicuous place in or on the premises.
(Ord. 98-311. Passed 9-8-98.)
(b) Whenever the Chairman of the Licensing Board finds that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the health and safety of the public or the health and safety of the employees of a salvage yard operator, he may, after having made a good faith effort to give the salvage yard operator at least one hour advance notice of his intended action issue an order reciting the existence of the emergency and suspend forthwith the license of a salvage yard operator. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any such order or order shall be effective immediately and complied within the time and manner prescribed in the emergency order.
