§ 413-3.1408. Emergency suspension.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Health or Safety Danger. After making a written finding that the public health or safety is endangered by some person or permitable activity, the health officer or one of his deputies may order the immediate cessation of the activity, abatement of the condition, or action to correct the condition, and he may order the emergency suspension of the permit and its removal from the person or premises; and he may post notice of this action in a conspicuous place. Emergency suspension is in addition to, and not limited by nor in derogation of, any other authority or power which the health officer may have under this or other laws or regulations.

    (b)

    Period. Each emergency suspension, as distinct from any other authorized action, is effective for not more than seven calendar days, including the first day on which the permit is suspended. At the end of that period, or sooner if a finding is made that the public health or safety is no longer endangered, the permit becomes valid again, unless a hearing is ordered pursuant to Section 413-3.1412.
