(Prior code § 31-5)
The building inspector may revoke any permit issued pursuant to this chapter if, after due investigation and after a hearing, not less than five days written notice of which is given to the holder of the permit, the city engineer determines that the holder thereof has violated any of the provisions of this chapter or this code. Written notice of such revocation shall be posted on the trailer or personally delivered if the person to whom the permit was issued is on the property.
