This chapter is adopted pursuant to the municipal affairs provisions of the City Charter for the purpose of regulating house-to-house peddling and soliciting within the city in order to ensure that such activities are conducted in a reasonable manner and at reasonable times, to provide some means of redress for those citizens who are the victims of fraudulent offers or shoddy merchandise, and to detect, to the extent reasonably possible, those persons with recent criminal histories who are likely to engage in house- to-house peddling or soliciting within the city in connection with or as part of an unlawful activity.
