No adverse license action shall be imposed where the instance of disorderly use of the premises occurred during the pendency of an eviction action or within thirty(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 occupants or guests of the tenants unit.

Further, an action to deny, revoke, suspend or not renew a license based upon violations of this subdivision may be postponed or discontinued by the City at any time if it appears that the licensee has taken appropriate measures that will prevent further instances of disorderly use. h. All notices given by the City under this Subdivision shall be personally served on the licensee, sent by certified mail to the licensee's last known address or, if the last known address is unknown or personal service is ineffective,by posting on a conspicuous place on the licensed premises. i. Enforcement actions provided in this Subdivision shall not be exclusive, and the City Council may take any action with respect to a licensee, a tenant, or the licensed premises as is authorized by the City Code, state or federal law.
