The local liquor control commissioner shall have the following
powers, functions and duties
with respect to licenses granted under this chapter:
A. In addition to and not limited
by the specific penalties above set out for violations of
specific sections of this chapter, the local liquor control commissioner may suspend for thirty
(30) days or revoke any liquor license issued under this chapter for any state law pertaining to the
sale of alcoholic liquors by any licensee, his agent, servant or employee.
B. The local liquor control commissioner
may suspend or revoke any liquor license if the
licensee makes any false statement or misrepresentation in the application for a license.
C. The local liquor control commissioner
may enter or authorize any law enforcing officer to
enter at any time upon any premises licensed to determine whether any of the provisions of this
chapter or the laws of the state of Illinois pertaining to the sale of alcoholic liquor have been or
are being violated at such time to examine the premises of the licensee in connection therewith.
D. Complaint by Residents. Any five
residents of the city shall have the right to file a
complaint with the mayor, stating that any licensee under this chapter has been or is violating the
provisions of this chapter, or any amendments hereto, or of any of the statutes of the state of
Illinois, enacted with reference to the control of liquor. Such complaint shall be in writing and
shall be signed and sworn to by the parties complaining.
The complaint shall state the particular provision, rule
or regulation believed to have been
violated and the facts in detail upon which such belief is based. If the mayor is satisfied that the
complaint substantially charges a violation, and that from the facts alleged, there is reasonable
cause for such belief, it shall set the matter for hearing, and shall serve notice upon the licensee
