(a) No license shall be assignable or transferable except as hereafter provided. A license to conduct a home improvement business issued to an individual may be assigned or transferred for the remainder of the license period to a partnership or corporation if such individual is a member of such partnership or a stockholder of such corporation owning not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding stock at the time of such assignment or transfer. A license issued to a partnership may be assigned or transferred for the remainder of the license period to any one member of such partnership, provided he obtains the consent of all of the other members of such partnership. The application for such transfer or assignment shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the Chief Building Official or his designee that the requirements herein provided have been complied with. No assignment or transfer shall become effective unless the endorsement of the transfer or assignment has been made on the face of the license by the Chief Building Official or his designee and such license, so endorsed, has been returned to the assignee or transferee. All such endorsements shall be made without payment of any fee.
(b) Within ten days after a change of control in ownership, management or employment, or of change of address or trade name, every licensee shall notify the Chief Building Official or his designee of such change.
(c) Each license issued pursuant to this chapter shall be posted and kept posted in some conspicuous place in the home improvement business.
(d) A duplicate license may be issued for one lost, which is destroyed or mutilated, upon application therefor on a form prescribed by the City and the payment of a fee of ten dollars ($10.00). Each duplicate license shall have the word "duplicate" stamped across the face thereof and shall bear the same number as the one it replaces.
