Chapter 5 BUILDING, CONSTRUCTION AND RELATED ACTIVITIES*

Section 5-114 Master gasfitter's license suspension, revocation.

    Any master gasfitter who shall have been licensed as such  under the provisions of this article,  who violates any of the provisions of this chapter or who certifies under oath to the gas inspector he has supervised the installation, construction or repair of any gasfitting work when in fact he has  not shall be cited by the gas inspector to appear before the contractor's examining board to show  cause why his certificate as a master gasfitter should not be revoked. After such citation has been  personally served upon the master gasfitter, he shall have the right to appear before the contractor's examining board and offer such evidence in his behalf as he deems necessary. At the same time the gas inspector shall offer evidence showing violations as charged. After hearing the evidence, the contractor's examining board shall then, by a majority vote, find him guilty or not guilty as the evidence warrants. If found guilty the contractor's examining board may revoke the certificate or impose a suspension of his license for a period of up to ninety (90) days. If found not guilty the  charge shall be dropped. If the person so cited to appear shall fail to appear at the time and place specified in the citation, his license shall be automatically suspended by the examining board. When a certificate has been revoked as provided in this section, the licensee thereunder shall not be  allowed to act as a master gasfitter in the city until he has appealed the revocation to the contractor's examining board and the board has reinstated his license.
