Each department shall promptly conduct an investigation of the applicant, application and the proposed establishment in accordance with its responsibilities summarized at section 12-171 of this code. At the conclusion of its investigation, each department shall indicate on the photocopy of the application its approval or disapproval of the application, date it, sign it, and, in the event it disapproves, it shall so state its reasons.

A department shall disapprove of an application if it finds that the proposed establishment will be in violation of any provision of Division 4 or Division 5 of this code or of any building, fire, health, or zoning statute, code, ordinance or regulation. After its indication of approval or disapproval, each department shall immediately return the photocopy of the application to the tax collector.
