[Amended 11-27-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-2]
All swimming pools shall be subject to at least one full and complete inspection during each licensing year thereof, and additional inspections may be without advance notice to the licensee to determine continued compliance with the provisions of this Code. The licensees and operators of all such swimming pools shall cooperate fully in such periodic inspections. In the event the operator of a swimming pool fails to comply with this requirement after reasonable notice, the license may be suspended without further notice. In the event that a swimming pool does not receive a satisfactory determination upon such periodic inspection, the inspector shall return to the swimming pool within a reasonable period of time for a first reinspection to determine whether compliance has been accomplished. The fee for such reinspection shall be as set forth in §
479-3. In the event that, upon such first reinspection, it is determined that compliance has still not been met, the licensee must show cause upon an informal hearing of the Board of Health as to why such compliance was not met and as to why the establishment should not receive a second reinspection; the fee for such second reinspection, should same be required, shall be as set forth in §
479-3. If, upon the second reinspection, it is again determined that compliance has not been met, the licensee shall show cause upon an informal hearing before the Board of Health as to why the license should not be revoked. In the event that it is determined that compliance has not been met, a licensee shall be deemed in violation of the provisions of this chapter and shall be punishable as set forth in Chapter
450, Article
II, General Penalty.
