All officers of the finance department, parking control aide officers and code enforcement officers of the city are hereby authorized as license inspectors and shall examine all places of business, wheeled vehicles and persons required to obtain a license, and to see that such appropriate license certificates have been procured.
All officers of the finance department, parking control aide officers and code enforcement officers, as well as law enforcement personnel, shall have the power to enter, at any time and without charge, any place of business in the city for which a license is required by this chapter and to demand presentation of the license. It shall constitute a violation of this code for such person then and there to fail to present such license.
When any person, by use of signs, circulars, cards, telephone books or newspapers, advertises, holds out or represents that he or she is in business in the city and when such person fails to deny by a sworn statement given to the business license officer or agent that he or she is not conducting a business in the city, these facts shall be considered prima facie evidence that such person is conducting a business in the city.
