Corcoran, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.06
COMPLIANCE ORDERS
Operative Text
A. Upon the identification of a violation of the Maintenance Codes, the City shall provide written notice of the violation to the Owner or Manager. Notice may be personally served on or otherwise directly provided to the Owner or Manager or delivered by U.S. mail to the Owner or Manager at the address on record with the City in the license. The notice shall articulate the violation and the time by which the violation must be corrected. B. Should the Licensee fail to correct the noticed violation within the time provided, the City may pursue any or multiple remedies contemplated in this chapter. C. The notice provisions herein shall not apply to, and nothing in this section shall prohibit the City from taking immediate action to address an emergency as contemplated in Section 118.09. D. If a fifth or subsequent violation of Corcoran's Maintenance Codes, involving the same property and licensee, occurs within 18 months of any four previous properly noticed violations pursuant to paragraph A, a revocation hearing will be required and the City Council may take action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew the license. Failure for a licensee or designated property manager to appear at the hearing will be grounds for automatic revocation of the rental license. The effective date of a license revocation or suspension will be determined by the City Council at the hearing unless the Official finds life threatening conditions at the property that create a public safety emergency. In such an instance, the rental license can be revoked or suspended prior to the hearing date, but the City Council can choose to reinstate the license if extenuating circumstances outside of the control of the licensee are shown at the hearing.
Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.06 establishes a formal notice-and-correction process for rental property Maintenance Code violations. When a violation is identified, the City issues written notice to the property owner or manager specifying what must be fixed and by when. If violations are not corrected in time, the City may pursue one or more remedies, and a pattern of five or more violations at the same property within 18 months can trigger a license revocation hearing before the City Council.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 118 § 118.06, compliant operators typically maintain current contact information on file with the City so that any written violation notices reach them promptly. Upon receiving a notice, operators generally document corrective actions taken within the stated deadline and retain records of each noticed violation, since a fifth or subsequent violation at the same property within 18 months can trigger a mandatory revocation hearing. Operators should also be aware that failure to appear at such a hearing constitutes grounds for automatic revocation of the rental license.

Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.06 creates a structured enforcement pathway that tenants can reference when Maintenance Code conditions go unaddressed at their rental property. Tenants may report violations to the City, which is authorized to issue compliance orders and, in cases of repeated noncompliance, pursue remedies up to and including license revocation. Tenants experiencing ongoing maintenance issues may also wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are available under this provision.
