               It shall be the duty of the sheriff of the county to inspect periodically the premises
               licensed under this article, to determine any violations of its provisions, and to
               otherwise enforce said article.

               Upon acquiring substantial and reasonable evidence that an establishment requiring
               licensing under this article, or an owner, officer, or employee of such establishment,
               has violated a provision of this article, that a crime involving violence or moral
               turpitude has been committed by owners, officers, employees, customers, or members,
               or guests on the premises of such establishment, or that acts defined as nuisances
               under state or local statutes have occurred on or about the premises of such establishment,
               and upon acquiring information of a conviction of any owner, officer, employee, customer,
               member or guest of such establishment for the aforementioned violations, crimes and
               acts or nuisances, the sheriff shall notify the board of commissioners of such evidence
               or conviction. The board of commissioners shall then determine if there is sufficient
               danger to the morals, public health, safety or general welfare of the citizens and
               residents of the county to warrant revocation of the license of the establishment
               concerned. Upon determination that there is probable cause for revocation and after
               notification to the licensee of such determination and the reasons therefor, the board
               of commissioners shall schedule a hearing at which the licensee or his representative
               shall be afforded an opportunity to show good cause why his license should not be
               revoked. Upon licensee's failure to show such good cause, the board of commissioners
               shall revoke such license.

               In addition to the other requirements as to health certificates herein provided for,
               each masseur, masseuse, or other person who actually works under said license shall
               have their health certificate renewed every 90 days and provide the county tax collector
               a copy thereof. Said health certificate must be signed by a medical doctor licensed
               to practice in North Carolina. Any person purporting to operate under a license issued
               hereunder without a current health certificate as described in this subsection is
               guilty of a misdemeanor.
