Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-399, compliant rental property owners maintain a documented self-inspection procedure tied to section 8-90 that covers move-in, move-out, and annual unit inspections. Operators of licensed multifamily buildings also keep written records of weekly common-area cleaning and safety inspections as part of a formal preventative maintenance program. All self-inspection records and related documentation are compiled and submitted to the compliance official on an annual basis, so organized recordkeeping systems are a hallmark of operators who meet this standard.

Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-399 gives tenants a basis to expect that their landlord is conducting and documenting regular property inspections, including one before move-in and one after move-out, as well as annual unit inspections. Tenants in multifamily buildings can also expect that common areas are subject to documented weekly safety and cleaning checks. If a tenant believes these inspection and maintenance obligations are not being met, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with Maple Grove's compliance official, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting an attorney familiar with local housing ordinances.
