(A) The Mayor may appoint an enforcement officer who shall monitor this chapter, investigate complaints or non-compliance, and perform any and all other duties assigned to him or her by the Mayor. If a complaint is filed and upon preliminary investigation it is determined by the enforcement officer that there is “probable cause” to believe that a violation of this chapter has occurred, the enforcement officer shall present the complaint and all documentation and evidence supporting same to the Mayor. The Mayor may take any and all actions reasonably necessary and appropriate to determine the validity or invalidity of the complaint. If the Mayor finds by a preponderance of the evidence that a violation has occurred, he or she may impose the following penalties.
(1) For the first violation, the wrecker service or storage facility may be suspended from its respective service list for a period of time not to exceed six months;
(2) For a subsequent violation by the same offender within a two-year period, suspension from the appropriate list for at least six months, but not to exceed one year. Any subsequent violation by the same offender within a two-year period shall result in permanent removal form the appropriate list.
(B) The decision of the Mayor with regard to compliance issues and imposition of penalties is final and binding.
