§ 37-11. Revocation of licenses.  


Latest version.
  • All licenses are revocable at any time by the board of aldermen upon satisfactory proof that the licensee has violated this Code or any other ordinances relating to the business or acts done under the license, or that the licensee has been misrepresenting his goods or services sold or offered for sale in the city, has been practicing any fraud upon the public or has been selling for food for human beings or animals any unwholesome or unfit substances, or has been conducting a business not covered by his license, or has been conducting any immoral or disorderly place or business, or has been conducting any place of business dangerous to public health or safety or detrimental to public morals.

    If any license issued pursuant to this chapter is terminated by revocation, death of the licensee or other cause, all fees or taxes paid the city shall be forfeited to the use of the city.

    No person whose license has been revoked by the board of aldermen shall thereafter be entitled to engage in the business or do the acts for which the license was issued in the city, unless the board of aldermen, for a good cause shown, shall remove such disqualifications.

    Any person engaged in any business, conducting any place or doing any act for which a license is or may hereafter be required in the city, who shall be convicted of violating this chapter or any other ordinance relating to his business shall, without action by the board of aldermen, have his license revoked.
