[Amended 7-13-1999 by Ord. No. 1073-99]
A.
The annual fees for licenses of public establishments are hereby fixed as set forth in Chapter A270, Fees.
B.
The licenses shall be effective for the calendar year, expiring on December 31st, and are nontransferable. They may be renewable for the succeeding calendar year, provided that the establishment remains in substantial compliance with all applicable state and local laws. The fee for license renewals shall be due and payable on or before the first day of February in the year of renewal. A late fee as set forth in Chapter A270, Fees, shall be charged for each renewal paid on or after April 1.
A.
Any license issued under the terms and provisions
of this chapter may be suspended or revoked by the Board of Health
for any violation of any provision of this chapter or the State Sanitary
Code or the New Jersey Administrative Code or if the business is conducted
in a disorderly or improper manner or in violation of any ordinance
of this municipality or that the purpose for which the license has
been issued is being abused to the detriment of the public or is being
used for a purpose foreign to that for which the license was issued.
B.
A license issued under the terms and provisions of
this chapter shall not be revoked or suspended until after a hearing
is conducted by the Board of Health. Written notice of the time and
place of such hearing shall be served upon the licensee at least three
days prior to the date set for such hearing. Such notice shall also
contain a brief statement of the charges against the licensee. Notice
may be given either by personal delivery or certified mail or commercial
express service to the licensee at the business address appearing
upon said license. At the hearing the aggrieved shall have an opportunity
to answer all charges and may thereafter be heard. Upon due consideration
and deliberation by the Board of Health, the complaint may be dismissed,
or, if the Board concludes that the charges have been sustained and
substantiated, it may revoke, cancel or suspend the license held by
the licensee.
If any such license shall have been revoked,
neither the holder of the license nor any person acting for him, directly
or indirectly, shall be entitled to another license to conduct the
same business within the Borough unless the application for such license
shall be approved by the Board of Health.
No provisions of the article shall be applied
so as to impose any unlawful burden on either interstate commerce
or any activity of the state or federal government.

not to exceed 90 days, or a combination thereof. Each violation of
the provisions of this chapter and each day the same is violated shall
be deemed and taken to be a separate and distinct offense.
