Saint Anthony, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 155 (2026) § 152.12

(A) Inspections. The city will inspect all rental dwellings periodically to determine compliance with this chapter, the city code and the International Property Maintenance Code. After each inspection, the city shall provide the owner or resident agent with a compliance order pursuant to this section. The owner or resident agent must correct the violations within the time period specified in the compliance order. If the violations are not corrected, the city may suspend or revoke the license under this section, unless it is the initial license period, in which case, the license is valid until the end of the owner’s existing lease with the current tenant as noted in this section. The city may, however, immediately suspend or revoke a license if an unsafe or dangerous condition exists as described in § 152.11 (C).


(B) Occupant initiated inspections. An occupant who believes that his or her rental dwelling is not in compliance with the provision of this chapter, city code, or the International Housing Maintenance Code may provide written notice to the owner or resident agent of the rental dwelling specifying the alleged deficiency. If the owner or resident agent does not take action to correct the alleged problem the occupant may contact the city and request an inspection of the rental dwelling by the City Manager or designee upon showing proof that the owner or resident agent had been properly notified and has been given a reasonable time in which to correct deficiencies. If the inspection by the city substantiates the claim of non-compliance made by the occupant, the city inspector shall issue a compliance order to the owner or resident agent establishing the scope of work and timeframe for completion. The cost of the inspection to affirm the work identified in the compliance order shall be paid by the owner in the amount established in the city fee schedule.
