(a)
Any permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may be revoked by the city council upon its finding, after a public hearing as herein provided, that the permittee has failed, neglected or refused to perform, comply with and abide by any of the conditions and provisions of this chapter.
(b)
Proceedings before the city council for the revocation of any permit may be instituted by the fire chief causing to be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises covered by the permit, readable from the ground level, a notice entitled "Notice of intention to revoke permit" and cause a copy thereof to be mailed, postage prepaid, to permittee, or his designated agent, at his last known address, and a copy to be filed with the city council. The notice shall set forth the date of the posting hereof, and the reasons and grounds upon which the revocation will be based, and shall require permittee, within fifteen days after the date of posting specified therein, to cure and remedy any default under, noncompliance with, or violation of any condition of the permit or to show cause before the city council why the permit shall not be revoked.
(c)
Upon application therefor by permittee, the city council may, at its discretion, extend the time for curing and remedying any claimed default, noncompliance or violation by permittee. No extension of time shall be for a longer period than a total of sixty days from and after the service upon permittee of the notice of intention to revoke the permit.
(d)
At any time prior to the expiration of the period of fifteen days, or any extension thereof, the permittee may file with the city council a written appeal from the order, requirement, decision or determination of the fire chief as set forth in the aforesaid notice, and request a hearing thereon by the city council. Failure to file a demand for such hearing within the aforesaid period of time, or any extension thereof, shall be deemed to be an admission on the part of the permittee that valid grounds exist for the revocation of the permit forthwith, unless permittee shall have commenced with a diligent and bona fide effort to cure and remedy the default, noncompliance or violation for which the notice was issued.
(e)
If a hearing before the council is requested, the permit shall not be modified or revoked unless and until so ordered by the council after the completion of the hearing.
