Subd. 6 No Adverse Action Pending Eviction. No adverse license action shall be imposed where the instance of disorderly use of the licensed premises occurred during the pending 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 are not 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. Subd. 7 Finding of Disorderly Conduct. A determination that the licensed premises have been used in a disorderly manner as described in subd. I of this section shall be made upon a fair preponderance of the evidence to support such a determination. It is not necessary that criminal charges be brought in order to support a determination of disorderly use nor does the fact of dismissal or acquittal of such a criminal charge operate as a bar to adverse license action under this section. Subd. 8 Service of Notices. All notices given by the City under this section must be personally served on the licensee, sent by certified mail to the licensee's last known address or, if neither method of service effects notice, by posting on a conspicuous place on the licensed premises. Subd. 9 Enforcement Actions. Enforcement actions provided in this section are not 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. 1336.10 CONDITION OF LICENSED PREMISES. Subd. 1. Compliance Order. Whenever the City Code Official determines that the condition of any rental dwelling or the premises surrounding it fails to meet the provisions of this Chapter, other applicable City Code provisions or the International Property Maintenance Code, he or she may issue a compliance order setting forth the specific violations and ordering the owner to correct such violations. Subd. 2. Contents of the Compliance Order. The compliance order shall: 1. Be in writing; and 2. Describe the location and nature of the violations; and 3. Set forth a reasonable time for the correction of the violations by the owner or resident agent; and 4. Be served upon the owner and resident agent either personally or by certified mail.
