Oakdale, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-15

(a) Every license issued under the provisions of this article is subject to administrative fines, imposition of license conditions, suspension and/or revocation by the Building Official. Any notice of enforcement action must explain the procedure that applies to that action.
(1) Imposition of Administrative Fines. In the case of violation of the Building Code, Fire Code, Property Maintenance Code, or Zoning Code, the Building Official may take enforcement action using the procedures of Chapter 1 , Title IV, Section 1-20 .
(2) Imposition of Administrative Fine, License Conditions, License Suspension, Revocation, Denial and Non-Renewal. All actions other than those listed in Subsection (a) above must follow the procedures outlined in Section 7-16 , Subsection (g).
(b) In the event that a license is suspended or revoked by the Building Official, it shall be unlawful for the owner or the owner's duly authorized agent to thereafter permit any new occupancy of vacant or thereafter vacated rental units until such time as the Building Official has restored a valid license.
(c) Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be subject to the penalties provided in Minnesota Law. Each day of each violation shall constitute a separate punishable offense.
(d) The Building Official may impose an administrative fine, impose license conditions, suspend, revoke, or decline to renew any license issued under this article upon any of the following grounds:
(1) False statements on any application or other information or report required under this article to be given by the applicant or licensee.
(2) Failure to pay any application, penalty, re-inspection or re-instatement fee.
(3) Failure to correct deficiencies noted on Rental Housing Correction Notice in the time specified in that notice.
(4) Failure to comply with the provisions of an approved mitigation plan in the case of provisional licenses.
(5) Failure to operate or maintain the licensed premises in conformity with all applicable state laws and codes and this Code of Ordinances.
(6) Any other violation of this article.
(e) Penalties occurring within a thirty-six (36) month period may increase or decrease in severity due to aggravating or mitigating circumstances but otherwise are reflected in the city's fee schedule.
(f) A regular license may be revoked at either the end of a six (6) month review period, as described in Section 7-06.2, or immediately prior to the end of the one (1) year license term upon a finding that the licensed premises are only eligible for a provisional license as provided in Section 7-18 .
(g) The following procedure will apply to enforcement actions except where the Building Official has provided notice of enforcement under the procedures of Chapter 1 , Article IV, Section 1-20 . A decision to fine, impose license conditions, suspend, revoke, deny or not renew a license shall be preceded by written notice to the applicant or licensee specifying the grounds for such fine, license conditions, suspension, revocation, denial or non-renewal. The applicant or licensee will be given an opportunity for a hearing before the Hearing Officer before final action to fine, impose license conditions, suspend, revoke, deny or not renew a license. In order to request such a hearing, the applicant or licensee must submit a written application for appeal within ten (10) days after the notice was served. In the event that no such application for appeal is received, the proposed penalty will be imposed. In the event an application for appeal is received, a hearing will be scheduled. The Hearing Officer shall give due regard to the frequency and seriousness of the violations, the ease with which such violations could have been cured or avoided and good faith efforts to comply and shall issue a recommendation to fine, impose license conditions, suspend, revoke, deny, or not renew a license only upon written findings. The Hearing Officer's recommendation shall be final unless appealed to the City Council within ten (10) days of issuance of the written findings. In the case of such appeal, the recommendation of the Hearing Officer will be considered by the City Council at a hearing where the licensee shall be permitted to address the Council regarding the proposed penalty. Following the hearing, the City Council may adopt all or part of the written findings and recommendation of the Hearing Officer, or the City Council may adopt its own findings and determine the appropriate penalty.
(h) The Building Official may suspend, revoke, deny or not renew a license for part or the entire rental dwelling facility.
(i) Licenses may be suspended for up to ninety (90) days and may, after the period of suspension, be re-instated subject to compliance with this article and any other conditions imposed by the Building Official at the time of the suspension. Licenses that are revoked will not be re-instated until the owner has re-applied with licensing and displayed compliance with all relevant requirements to the level required under this article, including all conditions imposed at the time of revocation. Upon a decision to revoke, deny or not renew a license, no new application for the same rental dwelling will be accepted for the period of time specified in the Building Official's, Hearing Officer's, or City Council's written decision, which shall not exceed one (1) year. A decision not to renew a license may take the form of a suspension or revocation. A decision to deny an initial application for a new rental dwelling facility will not take the form of a suspension of revocation unless the applicant in connection with the application has made false statements. A decision to deny an initial application shall state the conditions of re-application. All new applications must be accompanied by a re-instatement fee, as reflected in the city's fee schedule.
(j) A written decision to suspend, revoke, or deny a license or application shall specify the part or parts of the rental dwelling facility to which it applies. Thereafter, and until a license is re-issued or re-instated, no rental units becoming vacant in such part or parts of the facility may be re-let or occupied. Suspension, revocation or non-renewal of a license shall not excuse the owner from compliance with all terms of state laws and codes and this Code of Ordinances for as long as any units in the facility are occupied. Failure to comply with all terms of this article during the term of suspension, revocation, or non-renewal is a misdemeanor and grounds for fines, license conditions, extension of the terms of such suspension or revocation or continuation of non-renewal, or for a decision not to re-instate the license, notwithstanding any limitations of the period of suspension, revocation, or non-renewal specified in the City Council's written decision or in Subsection (h) of this section.
