Shoreview, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-96
Liability
Operative Text
Neither the city nor its employees or agents shall be deemed liable for damages to a third person or property by reason of this chapter.
Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-96 establishes that the city of Shoreview, along with its employees and agents, bears no legal liability for damages to third parties or their property that arise from the administration or enforcement of this chapter. In other words, the ordinance itself does not create a basis for suing the city if someone suffers harm connected to the chapter's implementation. This is a governmental immunity provision that limits the city's exposure to damage claims rooted in this chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-96, property owners and managers should understand that the city's involvement in administering this chapter does not make the city a guarantor of outcomes or a party responsible for damages. Compliant operators generally maintain their own insurance and risk-management practices, recognizing that the city's immunity means any damage claims would be directed at private parties rather than the municipality. Awareness of this limitation helps operators understand the boundaries of city responsibility versus their own.

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-96 makes clear that if damages arise in connection with this chapter, the city and its employees or agents are shielded from liability under this provision. Tenants who believe they have suffered harm related to housing conditions or ordinance enforcement should be aware that claims would generally need to be directed at the responsible private party, such as a landlord or property manager, rather than the city. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource can help clarify what remedies and enforcement paths may still be available.
