(a) The commissioner has the authority to rescind any license obtained erroneously, illegally, by fraud, by misrepresentation, by willful misstatement or omission of any material fact or statement filed with the commissioner, the city comptroller, or any city department.
(b) If a license is rescinded, the former licensee may, within ten days of the mailing of the notice of rescission, make written demand upon the commissioner for a hearing. Upon receipt of a timely written demand for a hearing, the department shall within 30 days conduct a hearing. If at such a hearing the applicant establishes through competent evidence that the rescission was based upon incorrect findings, the commissioner shall issue the license. If at such a hearing the rescission is found to have been based upon correct findings, the rescission shall become final. After entry of a final rescission, the applicant shall be ineligible to make a new application for a period of 12 months.
