(B) The Building Official shall be charged with the responsibility of enforcing this subchapter.
(C) Upon determination by the Building Official that the licensed premises were out of compliance, the Building Official shall notify the license holder by regular mail of the violations.
(D) If another violation occurs within 12 months of an incident for which notice was given, as stated herein, the license holder shall be notified of the instance of violation, and shall also be required to meet with the City Manager and Building Official.
(E) If another instance of disorderly use of the premises occurs within 12 months after receipt of notices pursuant to this section, the dwelling unit rental license may be revoked, or suspended, for the unit by action of the Council. The suspension, or revocation, may be for all units in a given building address. Upon suspension, or revocation, a license holder shall pay to the city a reinstatement fee equal to $100. A suspension may be stayed subject to payment of the applicable reinstatement fees, and no further violations for a period of time.
(F) No suspension, or revocation, shall be imposed where the instance of violation occurred during the pendency of eviction proceedings (unlawful detainer), or within 30 days of notice given by the license holder to a tenant to vacate the premises where the violation was related to, and occurring in, the unit for which eviction proceedings were undertaken, or notice to vacate was given. Eviction proceedings shall not be a bar to sanctions, however, unless they are diligently pursued by the license holder.
(G) All written leases for property subject to the provisions of this section, after its effective date, shall contain a clause; provided, that tenants violating provisions of this section shall constitute a material breach of the lease, and are grounds for termination of the lease.
