No owner/operator of any taxicab operated under the terms and provisions of this chapter shall fail to exhibit to the Mayor's office an inspection of the vehicle to be licensed at the time of license application and renewal. The inspection shall be done at the expense of the applicant/owner, by a certified private mechanic, as designated and approved by the Mayor. An acceptable inspection form may be obtained from the Mayor's office prior to the making of application of an operator's license. The acceptance of an approved inspection report shall in no way place liability on the City for the safe operation of the taxicab. The Police Department of the City may for cause require a taxicab operator/driver to obtain a new inspection of a taxicab where it appears to the officer not to be in safe operating condition by his visual observation either while parked or operating. Failure to provide such an inspection to the Mayor's office within five (5) business days shall be grounds for the taxicab license to be revoked until a satisfactory inspection is presented to the Mayor's office.
