   31-28-3.    Denial, suspension, and revocation of permits 
      The  county boards of health may suspend or revoke permits where the health,  sanitation, and safety of the public require such action. When, in the  judgment of such board or its duly authorized agents, it is necessary  and proper that such application for a permit be denied or that a permit  previously granted be suspended or revoked, the applicant or holder of  the permit shall be notified thereof in writing and shall be afforded an  opportunity for hearing as provided in Article 1 of Chapter 5 of this  title. In the event that such application is finally denied or such  permit finally suspended or revoked, the applicant or holder thereof  shall be given notice in writing, which notice shall specifically state  the reasons why the application or permit has been suspended, revoked,  or denied.
