Albertville, Minn., Mun. Code toc-ch4 (2026) § 10-4-2
APPLICATION OF PROVISIONS
Operative Text
Every building, as well as its premises, and all occupied premises with the city shall conform to the requirements of this chapter, irrespective of when such building may have been constructed, altered or repaired. (Ord. 1998-1, 3-2-1998)
Albertville § 10-4-10 / § 10-4-2 establishes that every residential building and its surrounding premises within the city must meet the standards set out in the chapter, regardless of how old the building is or when any construction, alteration, or repair work was performed. The rule applies universally — there is no grandfather clause that exempts older structures simply because they predate the ordinance. Any occupied premises within city limits falls within the scope of these requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Albertville § 10-4-10 / § 10-4-2, property owners and managers are generally expected to ensure that all buildings and their premises comply with the chapter's standards, even if the property was built, renovated, or repaired before the ordinance took effect. A compliant operator typically conducts periodic reviews of their properties to confirm ongoing conformance rather than assuming older construction is exempt. Keeping records of inspections and any corrective work can help demonstrate that a property meets the chapter's requirements.
