§ 8-12. Suspension and revocation of license.

A. 

The Building Commissioner shall have the power to revoke a multiple residence license under the following circumstances:

(1) 

Where the Building Commissioner determines that there has been any false statement or material misrepresentation contained in any part of the application or supporting information upon which the license was based; or

(2) 

Where the Building Commissioner determines that the license was issued in error and should not have been issued in accordance with the requirements of this chapter or other applicable law; or

(3) 

Where the Building Commissioner finds an imminent danger to human life or public health and safety in or on the premises for which the license was issued; or

(4) 

Where the Building Commissioner determines that the person to whom the license is issued fails or refuses to comply with a written order indicating items requiring correction or work needed to comply with this chapter within the time period established by the Building Commissioner.

B. 

A written notice of revocation of a license shall be served upon the holder of the license and the owner, occupant or person in control of the premises covered by the license. Said notice shall be served personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested, and an addressed copy of the notice shall be posted on the premises covered by the license, if practicable.

C. 

An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the license holder to the Town Board, by written request, made within 15 days from the date of such revocation. The Town Board shall hold a public hearing on such appeal within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such appeal and, after such hearing, shall make written findings, a conclusion and a decision either sustaining such license revocation or reinstating such license within 15 days after close of such public hearing. Unless the Town Board directs otherwise in circumstances constituting serious threats to health and safety, the filing of an appeal shall stay the effectiveness of a license revocation until the Town Board has considered and ruled upon the issue.
