Rental property operators in Falcon Heights should be aware that under § 105-90, the compliance official controls the outcome of a license application and may take up to 60 days to complete any necessary investigation before acting. Compliant operators typically ensure their application includes an accurate and current business address, since any denial notice—along with the stated reasons—will be sent there. Operators who receive a denial generally have the option to appeal that decision to the city council, and understanding the appeal process outlined in the article is part of managing a licensed rental operation.
