(a) By the last day of each month, the licensee shall submit to the Vehicle for Hire Inspector a list of any permitted motor vehicles for hire that were permanently removed from motor vehicle for hire service by the licensee during that month.
(b) By the last day of each month, the licensee shall submit to the Vehicle for Hire Inspector a list of any motor vehicles for hire that have been put into service during that month or are subject to a contract with a motor vehicle for hire company to begin service during that month. Any new motor vehicle for hire to be placed in service shall be inspected by the Vehicle for Hire Inspector prior to its use in connection with the business. If the vehicle is three years old or older by model year, or has 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, an ASE Certified Master Technician inspection must be done, and passed, before the Vehicle for Hire Inspector will perform the City inspection. The ASE Certified Master Technician inspection shall include an inspection of the vehicle's braking system (parking brake, disc/drums, hoses, lines, etc.); suspension system (shock absorbers/struts, springs, shackles, etc.); steering system (power steering, linkage, free turning, etc.); and exhaust system (leaks, legal muffler, tailpipe, noise, etc.). No vehicle failing either the City's inspection or the ASE Certified Master Technician inspection will be granted a vehicle for hire permit. If the new vehicle is approved pursuant to such inspection, the Vehicle for Hire Inspector shall affix a decal to the newly approved vehicle.
