1. (1) The permit-issuing official may order any facility operating without a permit as required in section 7-1.3 of this Subpart to close, and remain closed until a valid permit for operation of the facility is obtained.
2. (2) The enforcement procedures delineated in the Public Health Law or otherwise provided by law shall be used as appropriate. Where a public health hazard is found, the portion of the temporary residence impacted by the hazard shall be placarded to prohibit use until the hazard is corrected in order to protect the public health and safety of the occupants. When a placard is used, it shall be conspicuously posted at each entrance or walkway leading to the portion of the property where the hazard exists. The placard shall state the authority for its placement and indicate that concealment, mutilation, alteration, or removal of it by any person without permission of the permit-issuing official shall constitute a violation of this Title and the Public Health Law.
3. (3) As soon as possible and in any event within 15 days after placarding a facility, the operator shall be provided with an opportunity to be heard and present evidence that continued operation of the facility does not constitute a danger to the public. The hearing shall be conducted by the permit-issuing official or the designated hearing officer.

4. (4) The permit-issuing official or designated representative shall inspect the premises within two working days of notification that the hazard has been eliminated. The placards will be removed after the permit-issuing official or his designated representative verifies that the hazard has been eliminated.
