St. Paul Park, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV § 18-76
Nonexclusive remedy
Operative Text
Enforcement actions provided in this code are not exclusive, and the council may take any action with respect to a licensee, a tenant or the licensed premises as is authorized by this Code, state or federal law.
Section 18-76 of St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV establishes that the enforcement tools described elsewhere in the code are not the only options available to authorities. The city council retains the ability to pursue any combination of remedies—whether drawn from the local code, state law, or federal law—against a licensee, a tenant, or the licensed property itself. No single enforcement path is treated as the sole or mandatory route when a violation arises.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-76, property owners and managers operating under a license in St. Paul Park should understand that a code violation may trigger more than one type of enforcement response simultaneously. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties and conduct in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements precisely because the city council is not limited to a single remedy. Keeping thorough records of maintenance, inspections, and tenant communications reflects the kind of broad accountability this provision contemplates.

Section 18-76 of ch. 18, art. IV means that tenants are not limited to a single avenue of relief when a problem arises with a licensed rental property or its operator. Because the council can act under local, state, or federal authority, tenants may have multiple overlapping protections available to them depending on the nature of the issue. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can help identify which bodies or complaint processes may apply to a given situation.
