Maplewood, Minn., City Code ch. 12, art. XIII § 12-616

(a) Emergency. When the conduct of any licensee, manager, or tenant, or the condition of the rental dwelling, or the property in or on which it is located, is detrimental to the public health, sanitation, safety and general welfare of the community, or residents of the rental dwelling so as to constitute a nuisance, fire hazard, or other unsafe or dangerous condition and thus give rise to an emergency, the building official has the authority to summarily condemn or close areas of the rental dwelling as the building official deems necessary, or may take other action to protect the residents and general public as deemed necessary.
(b) Notice. Notice of summary action will be mailed to the licensee by certified mail and posted at the dwelling units or areas affected and will describe the dwelling units or areas affected. No person shall remove the posted notice other than the building official or a designated representative.
(c) Costs. If the dwelling or dwelling unit is not condemned or closed pursuant to this section, the costs of any services performed by the city to prevent the condemnation or closure of the dwelling or dwelling unit may be levied against the property as a special assessment.
(d) Appeal. Any person aggrieved by a summary action of the building official shall be entitled to appeal to the city council by filing a notice of appeal with the city manager within five days of the summary action. The city manager must schedule a date for hearing before the city council and notify the aggrieved person of the date. The hearing will be conducted pursuant to section 12-615 (e).
