(A) Every owner shall cause his or her taxicabs to be inspected periodically by delivering them at a time and place to be specified by the Inspector. Failure of any owner to stand his or her taxicabs for inspection, as requested by the Inspector, shall be cause for the suspension or revocation of the certificate issued for such taxicabs.
(B) The Inspector, or his or her agent, shall have the right at any time, after displaying proper identification, to enter into or upon any taxicab for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not any of the provisions of this chapter are being violated.
(C) Any taxicab which is found, after such inspection, to be unsafe or in any way unsuitable for taxicab service may be immediately ordered out of service by the Inspector; and, before placing such taxicab in service again, the owner shall deliver it to the Inspector at a designated point for reinspection. Any owner who has a taxicab which is ordered out of service and which does not pass reinspection within 60 days shall immediately surrender the memorandum certificate covering that taxicab, and the owner will have no right of reinstatement.
