(A) The Council, on complaint filed by any person against an owner of a taxicab charging violation of any of the terms of this subchapter or any code provision or any other ordinance of the city or laws of the state regulating motor vehicles, may, after giving five days' notice of the ground of the complaint to such permit holder against whom complaint is made, hear evidence of such complaint, and after such hearing the Council may revoke or suspend the permit of such owner for good causes shown regardless of whether the permit holder has been charged or convicted in a court on such charge.
(B) Whenever any person holding one or more permits for taxicabs shall, for a period of 15 days consecutively, fail to make reasonable and consistent effort to operate such taxicabs for any reason other than an emergency over which the permit holder or owner has no control, the Council shall, upon hearing and after five days' notice to the owner or permit holder, revoke all permits covering such taxicabs not in use. The City Secretary shall keep a complete record of each taxicab permit issued and all renewals and revocations thereof.
