A. Whenever an inspection indicates that the condition of a licensee’s premises creates an imminent hazard to the public health or to the health of any animal in the licensee’s care, the chief of police or designee may immediately suspend or revoke the license and impound any animal in the licensee’s care until such time that the conditions that caused the hazard are corrected.

B. Upon suspension of any license, all operations related to the license shall cease at once. The director of animal control may cause a “notice of closure” sign to be conspicuously placed upon the suspended licensee’s premises. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove a “notice of closure” sign placed on the licensee’s premises unless authorized to do so by the city. (Ord. 5147 § 1, 2023)
