Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 244.90
Powers declared additional (Minneapolis Housing Code)
Operative Text
The powers conferred on the director of regulatory services shall be in addition to the power already conferred upon said director of regulatory services and shall not be construed as in any way limiting these powers. (Code 1960, As Amend., § 66.090; Pet. No. 252271, § 8, 5-11-90; 2013-Or-161, § 3, 12-6-13)
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 244.90 clarifies that any authority granted to the Director of Regulatory Services under this chapter is meant to supplement, not replace or restrict, the director's existing powers. In other words, the provision functions as an additive rule: new powers stack on top of old ones rather than narrowing them. This ensures that the director retains the full scope of regulatory authority already established elsewhere in the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 244.90, the Director of Regulatory Services retains the broadest possible set of enforcement tools when overseeing rental properties in Minneapolis. Compliant operators generally stay aware that the director can draw on multiple sources of authority simultaneously, meaning no single provision limits the scope of regulatory oversight they may face. Keeping properties in compliance with all applicable chapters of the Minneapolis Code is the practical takeaway from this additive-powers structure.

Section 244.90 means that the Director of Regulatory Services is not constrained to a narrow set of remedies when addressing housing concerns — the director can act under any combination of applicable powers. Tenants who believe a housing violation has occurred may file a complaint with the City of Minneapolis's regulatory services office, knowing that the director has broad authority to act. Tenant-rights organizations in Minneapolis can help residents understand how this expansive authority may be relevant to a specific housing situation.
