(a) Whenever an inspection is required in connection with premises used for or in the operation of a business, business activity, occupation or commercial establishment for which a license or permit is required, or is reasonably necessary to secure compliance with any ordinance or to detect violations thereof, or to determine whether a license shall be issued, it shall be the duty of the applicant, the licensee or the person in charge of the subject premises to admit thereto any officer or employee of the town who is authorized or directed to make such inspection at any reasonable time that admission is requested.
(b) Whenever any analysis of any commodity or material is reasonably necessary to secure conformance with any ordinance provision or to detect violations thereof, it shall be the duty of the applicant, the licensee or the permittee whose business is governed by these provisions to give any authorized officer or employee of the town, requesting the same, sufficient samples of such material or commodity for such analysis upon request.
(c) In addition to any other penalty which may be provided, the officer with the department charged with the duty of making an inspection under this chapter may recommend that the town manager either:
(1) Deny an application for a license under this chapter by an applicant who refuses to permit any such officer or employee who is authorized to make such inspection or take such sample to make the inspection or take any adequate sample of such commodity or who interferes with such officer or employee while in the performance of his duty in making such inspection; or
(2) Suspend or revoke the license of any licensee in the town who refuses to permit any such officer or employee who is authorized to make such inspection or take such sample to make the inspection or take any adequate sample of such commodity or who interferes with such officer or employee while in the performance of his duty in making such inspection; provided that no license shall be suspended or revoked for such cause unless written demand is made upon the licensee or person in charge of the premises, in the name of the town, stating that such inspection or sample is required at the time it is sought to make the inspection or to obtain the sample.
(d) Failure of an applicant or licensee to allow inspection or provide the sample material within five days of said written demand shall be cause for denial of such application, or suspension or revocation of such license. (Ord. 1058 §1(part), 2006).
