If the license office shall receive any ordinance violation complaints concerning a particular door-to-door salesperson, or three violation complaints concerning an organization, the business license office shall notify the door-to-door salesperson and organization such person represents of the complaints, and the business license supervisor may suspend the permit until such time as the door-to-door salesperson or organization can show cause that he or it is in compliance with the rules and regulations of this division.

(b)

The license office shall maintain a true and accurate log of each complaint showing the name of the complainant, the address of the complainant, and the substance of the complaint. Such records shall be available to the door-to-door salesperson, or his company or organization, and shall be deemed a public record. A hearing shall be set before the supervisor of the license office within five business days after notification of the door-to-door salesperson, at which time the license office shall investigate the nature of the complaints and the door-to-door salesperson may use witnesses or other evidence to show his compliance with this chapter. If the supervisor of the license office shall determine a violation on the part of the door-to-door salesperson of the ordinances of the county, he shall revoke the permit of the door-to-door salesperson.
