Edina, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XVIII § 10-732

(a) Responsibility. It is the responsibility of the owner and operator/manager to be in compliance with this section, other city ordinances and state laws.
(b) Maintenance standards. Every rental dwelling must maintain the standards in the city property maintenance code, chapter 20 , article VI of this Code, in addition to any other requirement of the ordinances of the city or special permits issued by the city, or the laws of the State of Minnesota.
(c) Inspections and investigations.
(1) The city manager is authorized to make inspections to enforce this subchapter.
(2) All designated agents authorized to inspect have the authority to enter, at all reasonable times, any rental dwelling. Prior to entering a rental dwelling, the designated agent must first present proper credentials and request entry.
(3) Compliance orders must be written in accordance with section 107 of the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code.
(4) There is no fee charged for an initial inspection to determine the existence of a housing maintenance code violation, nor any fee for the first re-inspection to determine compliance with an order to correct a housing maintenance code violation.
a. A fee will be charged for each subsequent reinspection occurring after the due date for compliance with an order, as determined by the city manager. A no-show inspection fee may be charged if onsite representative does not appear at scheduled inspection. Late license renewal fees will be charged when license is not renewed on time, according to city fee schedule. The amount of the re-inspection, no-show, and late renewal fees are set in city code section 2-724 .
b. The reinspection fees prescribed above are to be billed directly to the owner or operator/manager for the property upon completion of any reinspection for which a fee is required. Failure to pay such fees is grounds for denial, revocation, suspension, or non-issuance of a rental dwelling license. This subdivision is not to be considered the exclusive method of collecting reinspection fees and does not preclude collection by other lawful means.
c. Every notice of violation and order to correct housing code violations must contain a clear and conspicuous explanation of the policy in this section requiring re-inspection fees for subsequent reinspection.
d. The city manager may waive a reinspection fee in case of error, mistake, injustice, or other good cause.
(d) Revocation, suspension, denial or non-renewal of license.
(1) The city manager may revoke, suspend, deny or decline to renew any license issued under this subchapter for part or all of a rental dwelling upon any of the following grounds:
a. False statements on any application or other information or report required by this subchapter to be given by the applicant or licensee;
b. Failure to pay any application, penalty, re-inspection or reinstatement fee required either by this section or city council resolution;
c. Failure to correct deficiencies in the time specified in a compliance order;
d. Failure to allow an authorized inspection of a rental dwelling;
e. Violation of an owner's duties under Minn. Stats. §§ 299C.66 to 299C.71 ("Kari Koskinen Manager Background Check Act");
f. Any other violation of this subchapter.
(2) Before the city manager may revoke or suspend a license, written notice must be sent to the applicant or owner/licensee setting forth the alleged grounds for the potential action. The notice must also specify a date for a hearing before the city council. The notice will be mailed by regular mail to the licensee at the most recent address listed on the license application. At the hearing, the owner/licensee may present witnesses in their defense. The city council will make the final decision to revoke or suspend the license based upon the entire record.
(3) A decision to revoke, suspend, deny or not renew a license or application will specify the part or parts of the rental dwelling to which it applies. Until a license is reissued or reinstated, no rental units becoming vacant in such part or parts of the rental dwelling may be relet or occupied. Revocation, suspension or non-renewal of a license will not excuse the owner/licensee from compliance with all terms of this section for as long as any units in the rental dwelling are occupied.
(4) Failure to comply with all terms of this section during the term of revocation, suspension or non-renewal is a misdemeanor and grounds for extension of the term of revocation, suspension or continuation of non-renewal of the license.
(5) Appeals of any decision made by the city manager must be made to the city council.
(e) Posting of unlicensed properties. Any dwelling found in violation of this subchapter may be posted with a placard near or upon the main entrance of the dwelling indicating violation of Edina City Ordinance.
