Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 240.50 establishes that lead orders—formal directives issued under Minnesota Statute 144.9504 addressing lead hazards in residential properties—are enforced through the city's own enforcement framework set out in Chapter 244 of the Minneapolis City Ordinances. This means the city does not rely solely on state-level enforcement mechanisms; instead, local enforcement tools and procedures apply when a lead order is issued. The provision ensures a clear procedural pathway for addressing lead hazard violations within Minneapolis.
