(a) In the event the remedial action required in the order is not corrected and compliance with the order has not occurred and no appeal noted, the city may undertake any one or more of the following remedies: (1) Issue and serve a misdemeanor citation for each of the violations found to exist; (2) Issue and serve an order for immediate vacation of the property; (3) Correct or abate the violation by undertaking repair, removal or demolition of the property, structure or manufactured home.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-93 establishes what the City of Hopkins may do when a property owner fails to comply with a remedial order and no appeal has been filed. The city's available responses include issuing misdemeanor citations for each violation, ordering the immediate vacation of the property, or directly undertaking repair, removal, or demolition itself. Before taking any of these steps, the city must serve written notice on the relevant parties, stating that the remedial action will occur no sooner than ten days after the notice is received.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-93, operators who receive a remedial order are expected to bring the property into compliance before the city exercises its escalating enforcement options. Compliant operators typically document all corrective work, communicate with the city about progress, and use the appeal process if they dispute the underlying order — because once the ten-day notice window closes, the city may issue misdemeanor citations, order vacation, or perform the abatement work itself. Keeping records of completed repairs and correspondence with city officials is a common practice for demonstrating timely compliance.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-93 gives tenants important context about what can happen when a landlord ignores a city remedial order: the city may cite the landlord for misdemeanors, order the property vacated, or carry out repairs or demolition directly. If a vacation order is issued, tenants may have rights and resources available through the city or local tenant-rights organizations that can help clarify next steps. Tenants who believe a property is out of compliance with a city order may contact the City of Hopkins directly to inquire about the status of any outstanding enforcement action under this provision.
