Excelsior, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-167
Penalties for failure to comply with order
Operative Text
Any person who fails to comply with a compliance order after the right of appeal has expired, and any person who fails to comply with a modified or affirmed compliance order within the time set therein, upon conviction, shall be punished in accordance with section 1-13 .
Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-167 establishes that failing to comply with a housing compliance order — once the appeal window has closed, or within the deadline set by a modified or affirmed order — is a punishable offense. Conviction triggers penalties defined by the jurisdiction's general penalty provision at section 1-13, rather than a specific dollar amount stated in this section itself. The rule applies both to those who ignore an original order after appeal rights lapse and to those who miss the deadline set by an order that was changed or upheld on appeal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a compliance order under Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-167 are generally expected to complete all required corrective actions before the appeal deadline passes, or within whatever timeline a modified or affirmed order specifies. Compliant operators typically document their remediation steps and retain records that demonstrate timely completion, since the burden of showing compliance may arise if enforcement action is pursued. Because penalties are governed by the cross-referenced section 1-13, operators often review that provision alongside § 8-167 to understand the full scope of potential consequences.

Under Excelsior Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. IV § 8-167, tenants have an interest in knowing that a landlord's failure to comply with a housing compliance order — after appeal rights expire or within the deadline of a modified order — can result in criminal conviction and punishment under section 1-13. If a landlord appears to have ignored a compliance order, tenants may consider reporting the non-compliance to the local housing or code enforcement authority, which is typically the body empowered to pursue such violations. Tenant-rights organizations in the Excelsior area can help explain what records to gather and what local processes are available for following up on unresolved compliance orders.
