(3) The holder of the permit has failed to comply with any applicable provision of the permit or this article;
(4) The permittee fails to perform under the release and indemnity required by section 26-391(b) of this Code; or

The notice shall set forth the alleged grounds for the revocation and the opportunity to request a hearing regarding the revocation. If the revocation is based in whole or in part upon section 1-10 of this Code, then the notice and hearing procedures shall also include any requirements to comply with section 1-9 of this Code and applicable state laws.
(c) If the permittee wishes to request a hearing, such request must be made in writing and provided to the director within twenty days of the date of the director's notice of revocation. Pending the hearing, the director may suspend the valet parking service operator's permit when the director determines that continued operation of the valet parking service constitutes a hazard to public safety and welfare, including, but not limited to, interfering with the safe operation of the streets for pedestrians and the normal flow of traffic. At the hearing, the burden of demonstrating that a permit should be revoked shall be upon the city. The permittee may also present evidence and cross examine witnesses. The hearing shall be conducted by a hearing officer appointed by the director, who shall revoke the permit if he determines by a preponderance of the evidence that grounds exist for revocation. The decision of the hearing officer to revoke a permit shall be made in writing and shall set forth the grounds therefor. The hearing officer's determination shall be final.
