Section 105-95 establishes that rental dwellings in Falcon Heights must meet the city's housing code and blight standards at all times, which means tenants have a basis to expect their unit and building to be maintained accordingly. If a tenant believes conditions fall short of these standards, one general path is to contact the city to request an inspection, which can trigger the owner's obligation to remedy violations and submit to reinspection under this provision. Tenants may also wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand how a documented code violation under § 105-95 might relate to other remedies available under Minnesota law.
