A. A license may be suspended temporarily by the city for failure by the license holder to comply with the requirements of this chapter or other provisions of this code. Whenever a license holder has failed to comply with any notice issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, the license holder shall be notified in writing that the license is, upon service of a notice, immediately suspended or that the suspension shall be effective on a specific future date, and that an opportunity for a hearing will be provided if a written request for a hearing is filed with the city clerk within three (3) days of the suspension notice date. The license holder shall be afforded a hearing as soon as practicable.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if the city finds unsanitary or other conditions, which, in the judgment of the city's representative, constitute a substantial hazard to the public health, the license may be immediately suspended. A license may be suspended without warning or notice of hearing, and upon conditions, specifying the corrective action to be taken and specifying the time period within which such action shall be taken. If deemed necessary, such order shall state that the license is immediately suspended and all body art procedures are to cease at once. Any person to whom such an order is issued shall comply immediately; but upon written petition filed with the city clerk within three (3) days of the suspension date, the license holder shall be afforded a hearing as soon as practicable.
