The Recorder, upon a thirty day notice to the licensee, may summarily revoke any license issued by him, pursuant to the provisions of this article, for any reason which would have been grounds for denial of such license when first issued for violation of any term or condition of such license, for violation of any relevant provision of State law, the Codified Ordinances or other ordinance, or for the perpetration or attempted perpetration of fraud, malpractice, or malfeasance by the licensee. Any person having an interest in any license so revoked and who feels aggrieved by the revocation may request the Recorder to further investigate the grounds for revocation and to reconsider his action. If the Recorder accedes to such request, he may suspend or reinstate the license, pending the final decision. If the Recorder refused to accede to such a request, or if, upon reconsideration, he affirms his revocation of the license, the party so aggrieved may appeal to Council. He may appear in person or by counsel, and may have the attendance of witnesses, books, and papers in his behalf, and may testify in person. The decision of the Council following such hearing shall be final, subject only to such judicial review as may be provided by law.
