Brainerd, Minn., City Code § 425 (2026) § 425.6004
Numbering Units
Operative Text
425.6004 Numbering Units. All habitable units let to another in a multiple dwelling shall be numbered or lettered in an approved and conspicuous manner on each passage door leading from such unit. All passage doors from each unit shall have the same number or letter and no two (2) units shall bear the same number or letter. Cross reference Numbering of buildings, Section 425.6008.
Brainerd City Code § 425.6004 requires that every rentable living unit in a multi-unit building be assigned a unique number or letter, displayed in an approved and visible way on each door that leads from that unit to a common passage. No two units in the same building may share the same identifier, and all passage doors belonging to a single unit must carry the same designation. A related rule on numbering entire buildings appears at § 425.6008.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.6004, operators of multiple dwellings are expected to assign each habitable rental unit a distinct number or letter and to post that identifier in a conspicuous, city-approved format on every passage door serving that unit. Compliant properties use consistent signage across all doors of a given unit and ensure no duplicate unit designations exist within the building. Landlords may also want to review the companion provision at § 425.6008, which addresses numbering requirements for the building itself.

Section § 425.6004 gives tenants in multi-unit buildings the assurance that their unit must be uniquely and clearly identified on every passage door, making the space distinguishable from all others in the building. If unit numbering is missing, illegible, or duplicated, that may constitute a code violation under Brainerd's Rental Housing Code. Tenants who believe this requirement is not being met can document the condition, contact the city's code enforcement office, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
