In all areas in the Town of Canandaigua, it shall be unlawful
to peddle without first having obtained and paid for, and having in
full force and effect, a current, valid license issued by the Town
Clerk's office. Each permitted peddler must carry a copy of the
license issued by the Town Clerk's office on his or her person
at all times when engaged in peddling activity.
Whenever the Town Clerk shall have probable cause to believe
that any person to whom a license has been issued under this chapter
has violated any of the provisions of this chapter or that any peddler
has misrepresented the purpose of his or her activities, the Town
Clerk shall immediately suspend the license temporarily and give the
license holder written notice by certified mail of a hearing to be
held before the Town Board of the Town of Canandaigua within 10 days
of such temporary suspension to determine whether or not the license
should be revoked. This notice must contain a statement of the facts
upon which the Town Clerk has acted in suspending the license. If,
after such hearing, the Town Board finds that this chapter has been
violated, or the activities of the peddler have been misrepresented,
the Board may, within two days after the hearing, revoke the license
and give the license holder written notice of the revocation and the
reasons therefor.
Any person aggrieved by the action of the Town Clerk in the denial of a license shall have the right of appeal to the Town Board of the Town of Canandaigua. Such appeal shall be taken by filing with the Board, within 14 days after the notice of the action complained of has been mailed to such person's last known address, a written statement setting forth fully the grounds for such appeal. The Town Board shall set a time and place for a hearing on such appeal, provided that the same shall be set within 60 days of receipt of the statement for appeal. Notice of such hearing shall be given in the same manner as provided in §
153-4B.
The provisions of this chapter shall be enforced by the Ontario
County Sheriff's Department, the New York State Police, or the
Town of Canandaigua Code Enforcement Officer.
The violation of any provision of this chapter shall be deemed
an offense, except that for the purpose of conferring jurisdiction
upon courts, such violation shall be deemed a misdemeanor. Each separate
violation shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250, and/or
imprisonment for a period not to exceed 60 days. Each day's continued
violation shall be deemed a separate offense.
