Linwood Township, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 8, art. V § 8-236

(a) Authority. The code official shall enforce or cause the enforcement of this article. The code official shall have the power to render interpretations of this article in conformity with the intent and purpose of this article.
(b) Compliance inspections. When the code official or a health officer has reasonable cause to believe that a condition exists in regard to a rental dwelling or premises that violates this article, including, but not limited to, a tenant complaint made in good faith, the code official or health officer may enter the rental dwelling to inspect, reinspect, or otherwise perform the duties imposed by this article. No such entry shall be made, however, until:
(1) The owner, manager or tenant permits entry;
(2) The code official or health officer secures an administrative warrant from a court with jurisdiction; or
(3) An emergency immediately affecting the health or safety of tenants exists.
(c) Compliance order. If the code official finds that any violation of this article has occurred, the code official shall prepare a compliance order listing all violations and the date or dates when such violations must be corrected. Notice shall be delivered in person or by mail to the permanent residential address listed on the license application or, if no address is provided, to the address used by the county auditor for mailing tax statements. If a compliance order is issued, the owner shall correct all violations, or cause them to be corrected, within the time limit set forth by the code official. Any violation timely corrected in compliance with such an order shall be deemed remedied by the town and shall not form the basis for a rental housing license suspension or revocation. Extensions of time to correct may be granted by the code official. A request for extension of time shall be made and delivered to the code official prior to the expiration date of the applicable correction period. Extensions may be granted by the code official upon due evidence shown that the owner, manager or tenant, as applicable, is using all reasonable means to timely correct the violation.
(d) Notice to vacate. The code official may post any rental dwelling as being in violation of this article and prevent further occupancy by a tenant if a rental dwelling is determined, in the opinion of the code official and as defined in this article, a substandard dwelling. At the time of posting, notice shall be sent to the owner. The notice shall be delivered in person or by mail to the permanent residential address listed on the license application if no address is provided to the address used by the county auditor for mailing tax statements. Existing tenants shall have 45 days to vacate a posted property if they are in occupancy at the time of posting, except that occupants shall immediately vacate a posted property if such occupancy will cause imminent danger to the health or safety of the tenants. No person other than the code official shall remove or tamper with any placard used for posting. No person shall reside in, occupy, or cause to be occupied any building, structure or rental dwelling which has been posted to prevent occupancy except as set forth herein.
