Every taxicab for which a certificate has been granted by the City shall be inspected
by the Chief of Police or a designated member of the police department or such other
reputable agency as the Chief of Police may prescribe at regular intervals of at least
every 12 months and at such other times as the Chief may prescribe. If such vehicle
shall be found to be in violation of the requirements of this article, to have inoperable
air conditioning or heating equipment, or to be unsafe, the owner thereof shall be
notified by the Chief at once of such defect, and such vehicle shall not be operated
thereafter until such defect has been remedied. If upon inspection it is found that
the odometer of a vehicle has been unlawfully tampered with, the vehicle shall be
permanently rejected for use as a taxicab.
