Park Rapids, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 152 (2026) § 152.077
FURTHER ACTIONS OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Operative Text
Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the city from taking affirmative action under any of its city fire, housing, zoning, or other health safety codes or any other state or federal statutes or laws for violations thereof to seek either injunctive relief or criminal prosecution for such violations in accordance with the terms and conditions of a particular ordinance or code under which the city would proceed against the property owner, designated property administrator, or occupant of any residential rental dwelling unit covered by these registration and inspection requirements. Nothing contained in this section shall prevent the city from seeking injunctive relief against a property owner or designated property administrator who fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this chapter on registration to obtain an order closing such rental units until violations of this particular section or other section of this chapter have been remedied by the property owner or designated property administrator. (Am. Ord. 473, passed 12-12-2006)
Park Rapids Ch. 152 § 152.077 makes clear that the city's rental registration and inspection program does not limit the city's broader legal toolkit. Beyond the registration framework itself, the city retains the authority to pursue injunctive relief or criminal prosecution under fire, housing, zoning, health, safety, or other applicable state and federal laws. Additionally, if a property owner or designated property administrator fails to comply with the chapter's registration requirements, the city may seek a court order to close the affected rental units until violations are corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.077, compliant operators understand that meeting registration requirements alone does not shield a property from separate enforcement actions under fire, housing, zoning, or health and safety codes. Property owners and designated property administrators who fall out of compliance with the registration provisions of Ch. 152 risk a court-ordered closure of their rental units until all violations are remedied. Operators generally maintain current registrations and address code deficiencies promptly to avoid the compounding effect of multiple enforcement tracks running simultaneously.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 152.077 of Park Rapids Ch. 152 signals that tenants living in rental units covered by the city's registration and inspection requirements benefit from multiple layers of potential city enforcement. If a landlord or designated property administrator is out of compliance, the city can pursue remedies ranging from injunctive relief to criminal prosecution under various codes, and can even seek a court order to close non-compliant units. Tenants who believe their unit involves code violations may contact the city directly, reach out to a local tenant-rights organization, or consult an attorney to understand which enforcement avenues may be relevant to their situation.
