(1) The police chief shall be responsible for enforcement and administration of this section. (2) Upon determination by the police chief that licensed premises were used in a disorderly manner, as described in subsection (a) of this section, the police chief shall notify the licensee by mail of the violation and direct the licensee to take steps to prevent further violations. (3) If another instance of disorderly use of the licensed premises occurs within three months of an incident for which a notice as provided in subsection (b)(2) of this section was given, the police chief shall notify the licensee by mail of the violation and shall also require the licensee to submit a written report of the actions taken, and proposed to be taken, by the licensee to prevent further disorderly use of the premises. This written report shall be submitted to the police chief within five days of receipt of the notice of disorderly use of the premises within the preceding three months. If the licensee fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection, the rental dwelling license for the premises may be denied, revoked, suspended, or not renewed. An action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew a license under this section shall be initiated by the city council at the request of the police chief. (4) If another instance of disorderly use of the licensed premises occurs within three months after any two previous instances of disorderly use for which notices were sent to the licensee pursuant to this section, the rental dwelling license for the premises may be denied, revoked, suspended, or not renewed. An action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew a license under this section shall be initiated by the city council at the request of the police chief. (5) No adverse license action shall be imposed where the instance of disorderly use of licensed premises occurred during the pendency of eviction proceedings (unlawful detainer) or within 30 days of notice given by the licensee to a tenant to vacate the premises, where the disorderly use was related to conduct by that tenant or by other occupants or guests of the tenant's unit. Eviction proceedings shall not be a bar to adverse license action, however, unless they are diligently pursued by the licensee. Further, an action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew a license based upon violations of this section may be postponed or discontinued at any time if it appears that the licensee has taken appropriate measures which will prevent further instances of disorderly use. (6) A determination that the licensed premises have been used in a disorderly manner as described in subsection (a) of this section shall be made upon substantial evidence to support such a determination. It shall not be necessary that criminal charges be brought to support a determination of disorderly use, nor shall the fact of dismissal or acquittal of criminal charges operate as a bar to adverse license action under this section.
