Summary action
Operative Text
(a) When the condition of the short-term rental of any license holder or their agent, representative, employee, or lessee is detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare as to constitute a nuisance, fire hazard or other unsafe or dangerous condition and thus give rise to an emergency, the city administrator or designee shall have the immediate authority to temporarily suspend, summarily condemn, or close off such area of the short-term rental. (b) Any person aggrieved by actions taken under subsection (a) of this section shall be entitled to appeal to the city council by filing a notice of appeal. The city administrator or designee shall schedule a date for the hearing and notify the aggrieved person of the date. (c) The hearing shall be conducted in the same manner as if the city had not taken summary action. (d) The city administrator or designee's decision shall remain in force until after any hearing and a decision by the city council. The city council decision shall be the final decision of the city.
Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-454 establishes an emergency authority allowing the city administrator or their designee to act immediately when a short-term rental poses a serious threat to public health, safety, or welfare — such as a nuisance, fire hazard, or other dangerous condition. In such cases, the city may temporarily suspend, condemn, or close off the rental without prior notice or a hearing. Anyone affected by that summary action has the right to appeal to the city council, which holds a full hearing and issues the final decision, though the initial suspension or closure remains in effect throughout that process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-454, operators of short-term rentals are expected to maintain their properties in a condition that does not constitute a nuisance, fire hazard, or other unsafe situation. Compliant operators generally conduct regular inspections, address safety deficiencies promptly, and ensure that agents, employees, or lessees acting on their behalf also uphold these standards. If a summary action is taken against a property, the ordinance provides a formal appeal pathway to the city council, and operators typically document property conditions and communications to support that process.
