Rosemount, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 95 (2026) § 9-8-9
CITY INSPECTIONS
Operative Text
All rental dwelling units are subject to city inspections. The owner or property manager must permit access to the city for the following inspections: A. An initial inspection upon application for a license. The city will not issue a license until the Director has inspected the unit and determined sufficient compliance with applicable codes. The city may issue a license if, in the Director’s judgment, an owner or licensee is diligently remedying violations within individual rental dwelling units. B. Any re-inspections required due to a violation or noncompliance determined necessary by the Director. If a violation or noncompliance is not corrected or abated to the Director’s satisfaction after two re-inspections, the City may suspend or revoke the license. Any applicable re-inspection fee must be paid. C. Inspections pursuant to City complaint policy. The City will adopt a policy establishing the scope of the City’s inspection program, which will include primarily life, fire, and safety violations. The City will inspect a unit if the Director determines the complaint is related to a matter identified in the City’s policy or there are other factors related to the history of the property that warrant an inspection.

Rosemount Ch. 95 Rental Licensing § 9-8-9 establishes that every rental dwelling unit in the city is subject to inspection by city officials. A license will not be issued until the Director has inspected the unit and found it sufficiently compliant with applicable codes, though a license may be granted if violations are being diligently remedied. The city may also conduct re-inspections when violations are found, and complaint-driven inspections when a complaint relates to life, fire, or safety matters or when the property's history warrants further review. Failure to correct violations after two re-inspections can result in license suspension or revocation.

Under Rosemount Ch. 95 Rental Licensing § 9-8-9, compliant rental property operators provide city inspectors with access to units at each required stage: the initial licensing inspection, any follow-up re-inspections triggered by identified violations, and complaint-based inspections authorized by the Director. Operators who receive violation notices generally work to correct or abate those issues before re-inspection deadlines and ensure any applicable re-inspection fees are paid. Maintaining a documented record of repairs and code-compliance efforts can be relevant if the Director is evaluating whether violations are being diligently remedied.

Rosemount Ch. 95 Rental Licensing § 9-8-9 gives tenants an indirect protection: rental units must pass city inspection before a license is issued, and the city can inspect a unit in response to a complaint related to life, fire, or safety concerns or the property's history. Tenants who believe their unit has such conditions may file a complaint with the city, which the Director will evaluate to determine whether an inspection is warranted under the city's adopted complaint policy. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing agencies can provide general information about how the complaint and inspection process works in Rosemount.
