Mattapoisett, Mass., Bd. of Health Reg. 19:00 (2021) § 19:15
Grant, Suspension, or Revocation of Licensure
Operative Text
The Board of Health, in each instance after a hearing, notice of which shall be sent to the licensee by first class mail, may grant, suspend or revoke any license issued to a hotel or motel, for violation of these regulations or applicable provisions of the State Sanitary Code. Any license so suspended or revoked may be re-issued by the Board of Health upon satisfactory evidence that the violation (s) is corrected.
Section 19:15 of the Mattapoisett Board of Health Hotel and Motel Regulations gives the Board of Health authority to grant, suspend, or revoke a hotel or motel's operating license when violations of local regulations or the State Sanitary Code are found. Before any suspension or revocation takes effect, the Board must hold a hearing and notify the licensee by first-class mail. A suspended or revoked license can be reinstated once the Board receives satisfactory evidence that the cited violations have been corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 19:15, hotel and motel operators in Mattapoisett should maintain ongoing compliance with both the Board of Health's regulations and the State Sanitary Code to protect their operating license. Compliant operators typically keep records of inspections, address any identified deficiencies promptly, and respond to Board correspondence in a timely manner. If a suspension or revocation proceeding is initiated, the operator is entitled to a hearing with advance notice sent by first-class mail, and demonstrating corrective action can support reinstatement of the license.
