Maplewood, Minn., City Code ch. 12, art. XI § 12-464
Applicability
Operative Text
This article shall not apply to any newly constructed housing or residential building when the title is conveyed to the first owner, except that no owner shall convey or contract to convey a newly constructed housing unit or residential building without first providing to the buyer: (1) A list of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all contractors and subcontractors who constructed the building. (2) The items in subsections 12-465 (b)(2)a--(b)(2)c and (b)(2)e--(b)(2)i.
Maplewood City Code ch. 12, art. XI § 12-464 establishes that the broader article's rent and housing regulations generally do not cover newly constructed housing at the point of its first sale. However, even that limited exemption comes with a condition: before any newly constructed unit or residential building changes hands for the first time, the seller must hand over a specific set of disclosures to the buyer, including a complete list of contractors and subcontractors involved in construction and the items enumerated in § 12-465(b)(2)a–c and (b)(2)e–i. The rule draws a clear line between ongoing regulatory coverage and the one-time disclosure obligation triggered at initial conveyance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers selling a newly constructed housing unit or residential building for the first time in Maplewood should be aware that § 12-464 requires certain disclosures to be delivered to the buyer before closing or contracting to convey. A compliant seller assembles a complete list of all contractors and subcontractors who worked on the building—including names, addresses, and telephone numbers—and also prepares the disclosure items specified in § 12-465(b)(2)a–c and (b)(2)e–i. Maintaining organized construction records throughout the building process makes it straightforward to satisfy these pre-conveyance requirements when the time comes.

Buyers or tenants taking ownership of a newly constructed home in Maplewood for the first time have a right under § 12-464 to receive specific disclosures before the sale is finalized, including the identities and contact information of everyone who built the property and the additional items listed in § 12-465(b)(2). If those disclosures were not provided prior to conveyance, that omission may be relevant to any dispute about the transaction. Tenant-rights organizations or a licensed attorney familiar with Maplewood City Code can help clarify what remedies or enforcement paths may be available in such a situation.
