Whenever, upon due notice and hearing, it shall be determined that noise from any
establishment licensed under this chapter interferes with the right of persons dwelling
in the vicinity of such establishment to the peaceful and quiet use and enjoyment
of their property, the commission may require that the premises be soundproofed in
a manner that in the judgment of the commission will be effective to eliminate the
noise or reduce it to a reasonable level. In taking any action under this section,
the commission must balance all of the interests of the respective parties, as well
as the hardship which will result from any order. If the commission finds that the
noise complained of is of a minimum or unconsequential degree, no action shall be
taken under this section.
B.
If a licensee fails, within a reasonable time and after having been ordered to do
so pursuant to this section, to take such steps as were ordered to abate any noise,
his license shall be suspended after a second hearing, due notice of which is given,
until such time as he complies with the order.
