No person, firm, association or corporation shall conduct, run
or operate or engage in the business of maintaining and operating
for hire separate washing, drying or dry-cleaning machines for personal
and individual use within the Village without obtaining a license
therefor as herein provided.
The Village may thereupon issue a license upon payment of the fee thereof, for a calendar year or a fraction thereof, which shall be computed at the rate as set forth in the current Village Fee Schedule (see Chapter
83, Fees) per establishment, either for an original license or any renewals thereof.
Each licensed business maintaining and operating for hire separate
washing, drying and dry-cleaning machines shall provide an attendant
who is familiar with the operation of such machines and any other
laundry or cleaning machines installed therein, who shall be in attendance
at all times between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. when such
machines are made available for hire.
The license granted by the Village shall be revocable by the
Village Board of Trustees or may be suspended by the Mayor of the
Village until the next meeting of the Board of Trustees in the event
that any of the following conditions are determined to exist:
A. Failure to provide an attendant as required by §
105-4 of this chapter.
B. The premises are found to be in an unsanitary condition or the certificate
of approval or permit issued by the Nassau County Department of Health
is suspended or revoked; or the premises are found to be in an unsafe
operating condition or the Electrical Underwriter's certificate
is violated or revoked; or the revocation or suspension of such license
shall operate as a refusal to permit the business licensed under this
chapter to continue. And in the event that such business shall thereafter
continue, each day or continuance shall constitute a separate violation
hereof.
Any person violating any provision of this chapter shall be
liable for a fine not to exceed $250 for each offense or by imprisonment
not exceeding 15 days, or both.
