(a) The director shall revoke a home repair license if he determines that:
(1) the licensee knowingly made a false representation as to a material matter in a license application, license renewal request, or hearing concerning the license; or
(2) the licensee identified himself with a business or trade name other than that filed with the director; or
(3) the licensee, an individual who is a business associate of the licensee, an individual who is a corporate officer of the licensee, or a current employee of the licensee, while he was in licensee’s employment, has been convicted in municipal court within a two-year period of two or more offenses prescribed by Section 50-143. (The director shall give notice to a licensee on the date formal charges are filed against an employee of the licensee. If a licensee discharges a convicted employee within one week after his second final conviction, the licensee is not subject to revocation under this subparagraph.) The time period between conviction in municipal court and final disposition on appeal of the conviction is not included in calculating the two-year period if the conviction is affirmed; or
(4) the licensee has knowingly subcontracted with or employed, for the performance of work which requires state or city professional licensing or registration, a person who does not have the requisite license or registration, or in the alternative has negligently failed to ascertain the person’s qualifications prior to subcontracting with or employing the person;
(5) the licensee knowingly misrepresented the quality or quantity of a material or service:
(A) used or rendered in connection with a home repair performed or agreed to be performed by the licensee; or
(B) offered or advertised in connection with the licensee’s home repair business; or
(6) the licensee knowingly misrepresented the price of a material or service:
(A) used or rendered in connection with a home repair performed or agreed to be performed by the licensee; or
(B) offered or advertised in connection with the licensee’s home repair business.
(b) The director shall notify the licensee in writing of a revocation and include in the notice the reasons for the revocation, the date the director orders the revocation and the date the order is to take effect, and a statement informing the licensee of his right of appeal.
(c) A home repair license becomes void on the effective date of notification issued under Subsection (b) of this section, and the licensee shall surrender the revoked license at the demand of the director. However, if the licensee appeals the revocation, the licensee may continue to operate under his license pending the appeal. (Ord. Nos. 14990; 18200)
