§ BH:2-2.3. Suspension or revocation.

Any license issued under the terms and provisions of this section may be suspended or revoked by the Board of Health of the Township for the violation by the licensee of any provision of this section or for any violation of Chapter 12 of the State Sanitary Code or whenever it shall appear that the business, trade, calling, profession or occupation of the person, firm or corporation to whom such license was issued is conducted in a disorderly or improper manner or in violation of any law of the United States, the State of New Jersey, or any ordinance of this Municipality, or that the person or persons conducting the retail food establishment is of an unfit character to conduct the same, 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.

A license issued under the terms and provisions of this section shall not be revoked, canceled or suspended until a hearing thereon shall have been held 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. The notice shall also contain a brief statement of the grounds for revoking, canceling or suspending such license. Notice may be given either by personal delivery to the person to be notified or be deposited in the United States Post Office in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to such person to be notified at the business address appearing upon the license. At the hearing before the Board of Health, the person aggrieved shall have an opportunity to answer and may thereafter be heard, and upon due consideration and deliberation by the Board of Health the complaint may be dismissed, or, if the Board of Health 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If any such license shall have been revoked, neither the holder thereof nor any person acting for him, directly or indirectly, shall be entitled to another license to carry on the business within the Township unless the application for such license shall be approved by the Board of Health.
