(1) Conviction of an offense that is directly related to the occupation for which the license is held, pursuant to a determination made under § 47-2853.17(c-1)(2), or a finding by the Mayor that any provision of this part has been violated;
(2) Furnishing false or misleading information to the Mayor, or failing to furnish information requested by the Mayor, or refusing to allow an inspection in accordance with this section and § 47-2885.16; or
(3) Selling, or offering for sale, adulterated or misbranded drugs or devices.

In such a case, if a hearing is requested, such request or hearing shall not serve to stay the issuance of an order suspending the license.
