§ 6-47. View from street.

(a)

In premises upon which the sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption upon the premises is licensed (other than as a restaurant, hotel or club), no person shall permit a screen, blind, curtain, partition, article or thing in the windows or upon the doors of such licensed premises nor inside such premises, which prevents a clear view into the interior of such licensed premises from the street, road or sidewalk at all times. No person shall permit a booth, screen, partition or other obstruction, or any arrangement of lights or lighting in or about the interior of such premises, which prevents a full view of the entire interior of such premises from the street, road or sidewalk, and such premises must be so located that there is a full view of the entire interior of such premises from the street, road or sidewalk.

(b)

All rooms where liquor is sold for consumption on the premises shall be continuously lighted during business hours by natural light or artificial white light so that all parts of the interior of the premises are clearly visible. In case the view into any such licensed premises required by this section is willfully obscured by the licensee or willfully allowed by him to be obscured or in any manner obstructed, then such license shall be subject to revocation in the manner provided in this article. In order to enforce the provisions of this section, the mayor is hereby authorized to require the filing with him of plans, drawings and photographs showing the clearance of the view as required in this section.
