B. Upon determining violation(s) of Section 815.13 , the compliance official shall issue an official order to the license holder.

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.15 establishes a process by which the City Council can suspend or revoke a rental dwelling license when maintenance violations under Section 815.13 are found. When a compliance official identifies such violations, they issue an official order to the license holder; if that order goes unmet, a formal hearing before the City Council is scheduled with at least ten days' notice. At the hearing, the license holder may present evidence, and the City Council then decides whether to suspend or revoke the license.

Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.15 provides a mechanism that can affect tenants indirectly: if a landlord's rental license is suspended or revoked due to maintenance violations under Section 815.13, the status of the rental property may change significantly. Tenants who are aware of unresolved maintenance issues may consider contacting the City of Wayzata's compliance office to report conditions that could trigger the official order process described in this provision. Local tenant-rights organizations can help tenants understand what a license suspension or revocation may mean for their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
