(A) Unlawful conduct at a rental dwelling shall be determined and handled by the Police Department.
(B) A determination that unlawful conduct has occurred at a rental dwelling shall be made upon the Police Department determining that it has probable cause to support such a determination and shall be subject to Minnesota Statutes § 504B.205, subd. 3. It shall not be necessary that criminal charges be brought to support a determination of unlawful conduct, nor shall the fact of dismissal or acquittal of such a criminal charge operate as a bar to adverse license action under this chapter based on such unlawful conduct.
(C) Upon notification from the Police Department to the Code Official that there have been 3 or more incidents of unlawful conduct at a rental dwelling with a 36 month period, the Code Official shall send a written warning to the owner of such rental dwelling, notifying the owner that:
(1) If there is an additional event of unlawful conduct at the identified rental dwelling within the 12 month period following the date of the warning, such unlawful conduct shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall entitle the city to the remedies set forth herein, including the revocation, suspension, non-renewal or denial of a rental license;
(2) Within 10 days after the Code Official's issuance of the written warning, the owner shall submit to the Code Official and the Police Department, a written management plan detailing the actions taken and proposed to be taken by the owner to prevent further unlawful conduct at the identified rental dwelling;
(3) Within 20 days after the acceptance of the management plan by the Code Official and the Police Department, the owner shall implement all the provisions of the management plan; and
(4) If the owner fails to submit or implement a management plan as required, such failure shall constitute a violation of this section and shall entitle the city to the remedies set forth herein, including the revocation, suspension, non-renewal or denial of a rental license.
(D) If the owner fails to provide or implement a management plan within the period required, or there is an event of unlawful conduct at the rental dwelling within 12 months after the written warning, such failure shall be a violation under this chapter.
