Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-92
Notice of noncompliance
Operative Text
Upon determination by the city or its official that a violation exists, a written order of compliance shall be served personally upon the park owner and upon the owner, occupant or resident of the manufactured home found to be in violation of this article or by mail if personal service is unavailable in any instance. The particular property found to be in violation may also be posted by affixing to the property a notice specifying the violation. The written order shall contain the following information: (1) A description of the real estate sufficient for identification; (2) A description and location of the violation; (3) The remedial action necessary to cure the violation; (4) A reasonable time in which the violation must be cured; (5) A statement that the city will undertake the remedial action required unless otherwise corrected within the time frame indicated and charge all costs incurred against the real estate as a special assessment or against the responsible party unless a request for an appeal has been filed as provided in this article.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-92 establishes the process the city uses to formally notify parties when a violation of the manufactured home park article is found. Once a violation is identified, a written compliance order must be served on the park owner and the manufactured home owner, occupant, or resident — either in person or by mail — and may also be posted directly on the property. The order must spell out what the violation is, what must be done to fix it, and how much time is allowed, along with a warning that the city may step in to make the repairs itself and recover the costs as a special assessment if the violation is not corrected in time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park owners subject to Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-92 should be prepared to receive a written compliance order if the city determines a violation exists under this article. Compliant operators generally track any posted or mailed notices carefully, note the stated deadline for remediation, and take the required corrective action within the specified timeframe to avoid the city performing the work and billing the costs back as a special assessment. Operators who believe a notice was issued in error should be aware that § 26-92 references an appeal process available within this article.
