§ 5-11. Right of entry and inspection.

The right of immediate entry to and inspection of any premises where alcoholic liquor or CMBs are sold by a licensee or holder of a temporary permit, or any premises subject to the control of any licensee or temporary permit holder, at any time by any duly authorized officer or agent of the city, or by any law enforcement officer, shall be a condition on which every license or temporary permit is issued, and the application for and acceptance of any license or temporary permit shall conclusively be deemed to be the consent of the applicant and licensee or permit holder to such immediate entry and inspection. Such right of immediate entry and inspection shall be at any time when the premises are occupied and is not limited to hours when the licensed business is open for business. Such consent shall not be revocable during the term of the license or temporary permit. Refusal of such entry shall be grounds for revocation of the license or temporary permit. Upon the refusal of any licensee or permit holder to permit immediate entry and inspection as required herein, the police chief shall report such refusal to the state director of alcoholic beverage control.
