(a) A taxicab driver's license may be suspended or revoked at any time by the Police Chief upon his or her own initiative or upon the recommendation of the Chief to the Mayor for violation of any of the terms of this chapter. Before suspending or revoking such license, the Mayor shall afford the licensee the opportunity of a hearing upon the charges. The licensee may appeal from such order to a Board of Appeals composed of the Director of Law, the Director of Finance and the President of Council. Notice of such appeal shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Director of Finance within ten days after the making of such order. A majority of the Board shall constitute a quorum for a hearing or decision.
(b) The board of appeals, within three days after the filing of such notice of appeal, shall proceed with the hearing of such appeal, at which hearing all parties interested shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard, and such Board of Appeals shall approve, modify or annul such order from which the appeal has been perfected, and the finding of such Board of Appeals shall be final on all parties thereto. The same procedure for appeal may be invoked by the holder or owner of any license issued for a public hack.
