      alcoholic  beverage  control  problem  premises  task force (hereinafter
      "task force"), which shall consist of  employees  of  the  authority  as
      designated  by  the members of the authority, provided however, that the
      task force shall include at  least  one  investigator  from  the  Albany
      office,  one  investigator from the Buffalo office, and one investigator
      from the New York city office.
        2. In any case where the  authority  receives  notification  from  the
      mayor,   chief   of  police,  police  commissioner,  sheriff,  or  local
      legislative body of any city,  town  or  village  which  certifies  that
      continued  operation of an on-premises establishment poses a significant
      threat to the public health,  safety,  or  welfare  requiring  immediate
      action,  the  authority  shall  assign  responsibility for conducting an
      investigation concerning such premises to the task force. In the city of
      New  York,  the  community  board  established   pursuant   to   section
      twenty-eight hundred of the New York city charter with jurisdiction over
      the  area  in  which  such  premises  is located shall be considered the
      appropriate local legislative body.
        3. Not more than fourteen calendar days after receipt by the authority
      of a notification as provided in this  section,  the  task  force  shall
      commence  an  investigation into the operation of the establishment. The
      task force shall complete its  investigation  and  the  authority  shall
      commence  a disciplinary hearing proceeding pursuant to this chapter for
      revocation or other appropriate action within forty-five calendar  days,
      unless   the   task   force  determines  in  written  findings  that  no
      disciplinary charges are warranted. A copy  of  any  such  determination
      shall  be  sent  to  the  mayor,  chief  of police, police commissioner,
      sheriff, or local legislative body of the city,  town  or  village  that
      filed  the  notification  with the authority. The authority shall notify
      the mayor, chief of  police,  police  commissioner,  sheriff,  or  local
      legislative   body   of  the  city,  town  or  village  that  filed  the
      notification  to  the  authority  of  the  final  disposition   of   the
      disciplinary  proceeding  within  ten business days of the completion of
      this process.
