Golden Valley City Code ch. 16, art. III § 16-62 establishes that the Code Official is both authorized and directed to enforce rental-dwelling standards, which means tenants have a designated point of contact for reporting potential violations. Tenants who believe their rental unit does not meet the standards of Article III or the City's Property Maintenance Code may consider contacting the Code Official's office to report concerns. Local tenant-rights organizations can also help tenants understand what options are available under this enforcement framework.
