When licenses or renewals of existing licenses are issued for any public hacks which may have been disabled, disqualified, sold or otherwise not available at the time of the granting of the licenses, no such vehicle which may thereafter be acquired for use in connection with any such licenses shall be placed in operation until it has been thoroughly and carefully inspected and examined and found to be in a thoroughly safe condition for the transportation of passengers, clean, fit, of good appearance and well painted and varnished. The Police Chief shall thereafter make inspections of such vehicles at intervals of not more than ninety days during the operation of such vehicle, provided, however, that in the case of vehicles already licensed by any other municipality in Cuyahoga County, it shall not be necessary to make the inspection hereinabove set forth.
