Shoreview, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-57
Fire safety
Operative Text
The owner or the owner's agent is responsible for compliance with the provisions of chapter 8 , article III.
Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-57 establishes that responsibility for meeting the fire safety requirements set out in chapter 8, article III falls on the property owner or their designated agent. The rule places the compliance obligation at the ownership level rather than with individual tenants. This means that when fire safety standards under chapter 8, article III are at issue, the owner or agent is the accountable party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 30 § 30-57, property owners and their agents bear direct responsibility for ensuring the rental property meets all fire safety standards referenced in chapter 8, article III. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections, maintain fire safety equipment, and ensure that any deficiencies identified under chapter 8, article III are promptly corrected. Delegating day-to-day management to an agent does not transfer the underlying ownership obligation.

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-57 makes clear that tenants are not the responsible party for fire safety compliance under chapter 8, article III — that duty rests with the owner or their agent. Tenants who observe fire safety deficiencies in their rental unit or building may document the conditions and report them to the appropriate Shoreview municipal authority. Tenant-rights organizations can provide general information about available options, including how to raise a fire safety violation as part of a housing complaint.
