Columbia Heights, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 5A (2026) § 5A.303
INSPECTIONS
Operative Text
Premises shall be inspected in accordance with the city's "Property Maintenance Inspection Policy." (Ord. 1532, passed 11-26-07)
Columbia Heights Ch. 5A Rental Housing § 5A.303 establishes that rental premises must be inspected following the procedures set out in the city's "Property Maintenance Inspection Policy." This provision ties the rental housing code's inspection requirement directly to that separate policy document, meaning the standards and processes defined there govern how inspections are conducted. The rule does not itself specify inspection frequency or procedures but instead incorporates the city's broader maintenance inspection framework by reference.
