RECOMMENDED ORDER


Pursuant to notice, an administrative hearing was held before Michael R.N. McDonnell, Hearing Officer for the Division of Administrative Hearings at 2:00 p.m., on May 7, 1979, in Room 821, Broward County Courthouse, 201 S.E. 6th Street, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.


Petitioner was represented by Mary Jo M. Gallay, Esquire, Staff Attorney, Department of Business Regulation, 725 South Bronough Street, Tallahassee, Florida. Respondent was not represented at the hearing.


Petitioner, Division of Hotels and Restaurants (hereafter the Division), seeks to assess a civil penalty against or to suspend or revoke Respondent's Division of Hotels and Restaurants license for alleged violations of applicable regulations. The Respondent having failed to appear at the hearing, the matter was heard on an uncontested basis.


FINDINGS OF FACT


  1. The Respondents, Charles and Minnie Hall t/a Hall Rooming House, were on July 7, 1978, licensed as a public lodging establishment.


  2. An inspection of the premises on July 7, 1978, revealed that no fire extinguishers were provided on the second floor, stairway hand rails were incomplete and loose and in need of resetting, in one apartment the commode and kitchen sink leaked, hot water heater was not working in one apartment and washing machines were draining on the ground behind the building into an area strewn with trash and debris.


  3. A subsequent inspection of the premises revealed that the violations had not been remedied.


    CONCLUSIONS OF LAW


  4. The foregoing Findings of Fact constitute a violation of Rules 7C- 1.04(1), 7C-1.03(1), 7C-1.03(5), 7C-1.03(7), 7C-2.02(1) and 7C-3.01(1), Florida Administrative Code. It is, therefore,

RECOMMENDED that Respondent's license be revoked.


DONE and ENTERED this 12th day of July, 1979, in Tallahassee, Florida.
