Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15 § 15.82
EFFECTIVE DATE AND ENFORCEMENT (Bloomington Buildings and Structures Code)
Operative Text
The provisions of this Article V shall be effective 30 days after publication for all new construction. All existing building within the city to which this Article V applies must be in compliance with its terms within one year of its effective date. (Ord. 2002-1, passed 1-14-2002)
Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.82 establishes two separate compliance timelines for the housing standards set out in Article V. Newly constructed buildings became subject to the article's requirements 30 days after the ordinance was published. Existing buildings that fall within the article's scope were given a one-year window from that effective date to come into full compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.82, operators of newly constructed properties in Bloomington were required to meet Article V standards from the outset — specifically within 30 days of the ordinance's publication. Owners of existing buildings covered by Article V had up to one year from the effective date to bring their properties into compliance, meaning a compliant operator would have audited their properties and addressed any gaps well within that window. Property managers overseeing buildings subject to this article generally maintain documentation showing when compliance measures were implemented relative to these deadlines.

Section 15.82 of the Bloomington Code of Ordinances means that the protections and standards in Article V were intended to be in place for existing buildings within one year of the ordinance's effective date. Tenants living in buildings covered by Article V may be able to raise a landlord's failure to comply with these standards as a relevant factor in a housing complaint or code-enforcement proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations in the Bloomington area can help residents understand whether a particular building was subject to these timelines and what general options exist when a property has not met the article's requirements.
