   (B)   The Mayor or his or her designee shall revoke a permit upon determining that:
      (1)   A permittee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted during the application process which was intended to enhance the applicant’s opportunity for obtaining a permit;
      (2)   A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed possession, use, or sale of controlled substances in or on the premises;

      (6)   On two or more occasions within a 12-month period, a person or persons committed an offense, occurring in or on the permitted premises, constituting a specified criminal act for which a conviction has been obtained, and the person or persons were employees of the sexually oriented business at the time the offenses were committed. The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the revocation of the permit;
      (7)   A permittee is convicted of tax violations for any taxes or fees related to a sexually oriented business;

      (1)   If, subsequent to revocation, the Mayor or his or her designee finds that the basis for revocation under this section has been corrected, the applicant shall be granted a permit if at least 90 days have elapsed since the date revocation became effective.
