(a) In addition to any penalties otherwise provided, the Director of Finance, upon being satisfied that a licensee has violated any provision of this chapter, or any rule promulgated by the Mayor under Section 737.24, or any City or State law relating to the particular matter for which such license is issued, shall have the power to fail to renew, revoke or suspend a license for such time as he may deem proper. All failure to renew, revocation and suspension orders issued by the Finance Director shall be in writing and signed by him, be sent immediately to the licensee at the address set forth in his application, and shall set forth the reason for the suspension order, and if a suspension, the time of the suspension period. The suspension or revocation order shall state the date that the suspension or revocation is effective, but under no circumstances shall the effective date of suspension or revocation be less than fifteen days from the date the Finance Director serves the licensee with the suspension or revocation order. Any licensee whose coin amusement device or amusement center license has failed to be renewed, or been suspended or revoked shall remove and keep his/her license from the public view, unless a stay pending appeal is granted pursuant to Section 737.27. The suspension or revocation of such license shall not entitle the licensee to the return of any part of the license fee.
(b) The Director of Finance, upon being satisfied that an applicant for a coin amusement device or amusement center license does not qualify for a license because the applicant or the place of business where the license is sought is in violation of any provision of this chapter, or any rule promulgated by the Mayor under Section 737.24, or any City or State law relating to the particular matter for which such license is sought, shall fail to issue the license. All failure to issue orders issued by the Finance Director shall be in writing and signed by him, be sent immediately to the applicant at the address set forth in his application, and shall set forth the reasons for the failure to issue the license.
(c) All failure to issue, renew, suspension or revocation orders issued by the Director of Finance shall be subject to appeal pursuant to Section 737.26.
