Summary Action Remedies
Operative Text
§99.14 SUMMARY ACTION REMEDIES When the conduct of any owner or their agent, representative, employee, or lessee or the condition of their rental dwelling is detrimental to the public health, sanitation, safety, and general welfare of the community at large or residents of the rental dwelling as to constitute a nuisance, fire hazard or other unsafe or dangerous condition and thus give rise to an emergency, the City Administrator has the authority to issue a No Occupancy Order or close off individual units or such areas of the rental dwelling. Notice of No Occupancy Order must be posted at the location of the rental dwelling and at the units or areas affected and shall indicate the units or areas affected. Upon notice of a No Occupancy Order, the City Administrator may impose terms and conditions as necessary to remedy the nuisance, fire hazard, or other unsafe or dangerous condition.
Cambridge, MN City Code § 99.14 establishes an emergency authority that allows the City Administrator to act swiftly when a rental property's condition—or the conduct of its owner, agent, or lessee—poses a serious threat to public health, safety, or welfare. When such conditions rise to the level of a nuisance, fire hazard, or other dangerous emergency, the City Administrator may issue a No Occupancy Order covering the entire property or specific units. A required notice must be posted at the affected location, and the City Administrator may attach conditions that must be met before the order is lifted.
