The Director of Public Safety and Service may revoke the license of any taxicab operator upon proper notice and hearings who is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of a violation of any of the ordinances of the City or the laws of the State relating to motor vehicles, their operation and equipment, or who is convicted of any Federal or State law or ordinance of the City relating to illegal traffic in intoxicating liquors, prostitution, gambling, theft or trafficking in drugs, in connection with the operation. If the person convicted is a directing or managing officer of a corporate taxicab operator, the license shall be revoked if it appears that the corporation sanctioned or aided in the commission of the offense for which the conviction was had. Upon revocation of any taxicab operator's license, the Director shall cause a notice in writing to be served upon the licensee or left at his place of business, whereupon it shall be the duty of such licensee to deliver his license to the Director, thereafter it shall be unlawful for such taxicab operator to engage in the business of operating a taxicab until a new license is duly issued to him. No new license shall be issued to such licensee for a period of one year from the date of revocation. In the event of a subsequent conviction of the same taxicab operator or a violation of the same provisions of the law as in the first conviction, the Director shall permanently revoke such taxicab operator's license and shall not issue another such license to the operator at any time.
