Upon the filing of an application, the Commission shall cause an inspection to be made of each warehouse described in the application. Additional inspections of any warehouse may be made from time to time as the Commission deems necessary, in order to effectuate the purposes of this Act.
Such inspection or inspections may include not only the building or premises used for storage purposes but the arrangement of the goods stored, nature of goods stored, safety of the building, accessibility to goods stored, precaution against fire hazards; whether fire extinguishers, fire apparatus, or hose are in good condition; whether all lots for which warehouse receipts have been issued are in storage; and any other things necessary to determine whether the warehouse is being operated in compliance with this Act. Commission staff shall have the right to enter the property of any warehouseman at any reasonable time, for the purpose of making an inspection or performing any duties in connection with this Act.
If the inspection of any warehouse discloses a hazardous condition or conditions or any other violation of this Act or the Commission's rules , the operator shall, upon written notice from the Commission , take proper and immediate steps to correct the condition or conditions. Failure to comply with the notice shall be grounds for rejecting an application or for revoking a license.
