Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 249.50

(a) The city council may consider as an alternate to demolition:
(1) Ordering the owner of any nuisance condition to rehabilitate the building and specifying the time within which such rehabilitation shall occur. If rehabilitation is the alternative required by the city council, the owner shall present a plan for rehabilitation to the director of inspections that shall contain a commitment of funds to accomplish the plan. If the plan required herein is not received by the director of regulatory services within the time ordered by the council, the city shall proceed to demolish the building.
(2) If the owner is, for any reason, unwilling or unable to immediately rehabilitate the building, the city may elect to rehabilitate and assess the cost thereof provided that the estimated cost may not exceed fifty (50) percent of the estimated after-rehabilitation market value of the property. Such costs shall be assessed against the property, in the manner provided for in section 249.60 .
(3) Notwithstanding the limitations of section 249.50 (a)(2), and in order to make funds available for rehabilitation, the city may, to the extent neighborhood action plans of the neighborhood revitalization program allow, create a revolving fund for housing purposes to be used in the neighborhood for which the funds have been earmarked. The city may receive applications and consider, where appropriate, loans to owners for housing rehabilitation purposes.
(b) The city council shall order demolition or rehabilitation of the building. The city council shall make such order as it deems appropriate based upon the evidence and record of the appeal hearing. The city council may also impose any and all conditions it deems appropriate. These conditions may include the posting of a performance bond in an amount not to exceed the estimated cost of rehabilitation. The regulatory, energy and environment committee may postpone its decision and order the owner to update the committee at a future date on the progress of rehabilitation. The order shall be mailed to the last known address of the owner to whom the building is registered with the division of inspections or, if not registered, to persons shown to have an interest in the property as ascertained by the files and records of the registrar of deeds or registrar of titles in and for Hennepin County.
(c) The owner of the subject property shall comply with the city council's decision and order. If the owner fails to abide by the order, the director of regulatory services shall immediately notify the city council which may then order immediate demolition or otherwise amend its order.
