1. (1) Each application for a certificate of compliance under this chapter shall identify each person who is to be in actual charge of the business and, if a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, each executive officer or manager of the partnership, limited liability company or corporation and each individual in control of the business. For the purposes of this section, an individual who owns or has a 50 percent ownership interest or greater in the partnership, limited liability company, or corporation shall be considered or deemed to be in control of the business.
2. (2) Misrepresentation of a material fact, or concealment of a material fact required to be shown in the application for a certificate, shall be a violation of this chapter. The city may refuse to issue a certificate if, upon investigation, the city finds that the applicant for a certificate has concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance concerning the operation of the business, or if the interest of any person in the operation of the business is not truly stated in the application, or in case of any fraud or false statements by the applicant pertaining to any matter relating to the operation of the business.
