Dilworth, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 (2026) § 152.17
FAILURE TO CORRECT COMPLIANCE ORDERS
Operative Text
Any person who fails to comply with a compliance order within the time set forth therein is subject to the penalty set forth in § 152.99. Nothing in this chapter, however, is deemed to limit other remedies or civil penalties available to the city under this code of ordinances or state law. Each day of such failure to comply shall constitute a separate punishable offense. (Ord. 22-03, passed 4-11-2022)
Dilworth Ch. 152 Rental Units § 152.17 establishes that any person who does not comply with a compliance order by its stated deadline faces penalties referenced in § 152.99, with each day of non-compliance treated as a distinct, separately punishable offense. The provision also preserves the city's ability to pursue additional remedies or civil penalties available under other parts of the municipal code or state law. This means that a single unresolved compliance order can accumulate multiple violations over time, potentially compounding the total penalty exposure.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.17, property owners and managers who receive a compliance order are expected to complete all required corrective actions by the deadline specified in that order. Because each day of non-compliance constitutes a separate offense subject to the penalties in § 152.99, operators generally track compliance deadlines carefully and document completed corrections. Compliant operators also remain aware that the city retains the right to pursue additional remedies beyond those listed in § 152.99 under other ordinances or state law.

Section 152.17 of Dilworth Ch. 152 Rental Units gives the city authority to penalize landlords who fail to meet compliance order deadlines, with penalties potentially accumulating on a day-by-day basis. Tenants whose units are subject to an unresolved compliance order may find it useful to document conditions and track whether corrections are made within the timeframe specified in the order. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can provide general information about how compliance orders are monitored and what options may be available when a landlord does not act within the required period.
