Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 14 § 14.548
ENFORCEMENT (Bloomington Time-of-Sale Housing Evaluations and Manufactured Home Park Regulations)
Operative Text
If the issuing authority or enforcement authority determines that a manufactured home park , youth camp or recreational camping area or unit site therein violates any requirements of the this Division E or any other article, division or section of this code or applicable state laws, the issuing authority or enforcement authority shall provide written notice to both the licensee and the owner of the property in violation, including manufactured home units, stating the nature of the violations and a deadline for correcting the violations. If upon re-inspection of the licensed premises it is determined that compliance with the notice to correct conditions was not achieved and that a second follow-up inspection is necessary, the enforcement authority will issue a civil citation in the amount of the re-inspection fee as set forth in the city’s civil fine schedule. Failure to pay the fee will result in a late fee subject to assessment pursuant to § 1.19 of this city code. The issuing authority or enforcement authority may issue orders to correct conditions followed by an administrative citation pursuant to §§ 1.10 through 1.19 of this city code to either or both the licensee or owner of the property in violation. In addition, city may initiate appropriate civil and/or criminal actions upon failure of an owner or licensee to correct any violation of the city code or applicable state laws, rules or regulations. Failure to pay outstanding civil fines or fees may result in future license ineligibility. (Ord. 2010-13, passed 5-17-2010)
Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 14.548 establishes an enforcement process for violations found at manufactured home parks, youth camps, recreational camping areas, or individual unit sites. When a violation is identified, the issuing or enforcement authority must deliver written notice to both the licensee and the property owner describing the problem and setting a correction deadline. If a follow-up inspection reveals the violation was not corrected, a civil citation equal to the re-inspection fee is issued, and continued non-compliance can escalate to administrative citations, civil actions, or criminal proceedings. Unpaid fines may also result in the licensee becoming ineligible for future licenses.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks and similar facilities subject to § 14.548 generally maintain records of any written notices received from the issuing or enforcement authority and act promptly to correct identified violations before the stated deadline. Compliant operators document their corrective steps so that a re-inspection confirms compliance, avoiding the civil citation tied to the re-inspection fee and any subsequent administrative citations under §§ 1.10 through 1.19. Staying current on all civil fines and fees is also important, since § 14.548 explicitly links unpaid balances to future license ineligibility.
