Any license or permit issued under the provisions of this code
may be revoked at any time by the Board, for just cause, or if the
licensee or permittee, or any of the employees, agents or servants
of said license or permittee shall violate:
A. Any of the provisions of this code or any amendments hereof or supplements
hereto; or
B. The Sanitary Code of the Department of Health of the State of New
Jersey specifically applicable to the subject matter for or upon which
said license or permit was issued; or
C. Applicable state statutes, rules or regulation.
Before any license or permit may be revoked, the Health Officer
shall notify the license holder, in writing, stating the reasons for
which the license is subject to revocation and advising that the license
shall be permanently revoked at the end of five days following service
of such notice, unless a written request for a hearing is filed with
the Health Officer, by the license holder, within such five-day period.
A license may be suspended for cause pending its revocation or a hearing
relative thereto.
The time and place for such hearing shall be fixed at the discretion
of the Board; provided, however, that an unreasonable time shall not
be permitted to elapse between the date of any suspension of license
and the date fixed for the revocation hearing.
Notice of the time and place of any hearing held under this
article shall be given by the Board to the holder of the license or
permit so involved, in writing, and served either personally or sent
to the applicant by registered mail, addressed to him at the address
stated in the license or permit or by posting securely on the premises
either on or near the main entrance door. If there is more than one
entrance door, the notice shall be posted on the one which, in the
discretion of the Health Officer, is most used by the general public.
A licensee or permittee who fails to appear at the time and
place fixed for such hearing shall not be entitled to any further
hearing and, in that event, the license or permit may, as a matter
of course, be forthwith revoked.
The Board of Health, after a formal hearing, may order the license
restored, issue a conditional license or revoke the license pending
full compliance with all applicable codes and statutes.
