Mounds View Housing Code § 150.999 establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of the local housing and fire-related code chapters. Most violations of the specified sections—including building code and fire code infractions—are classified as misdemeanors, and each day a violation continues can be treated as a separate offense. Certain fire-related violations under § 150.070, particularly those involving ignition devices, may result in forfeiture of those devices and fines set by the city's fee schedule, with the Fire Marshal holding discretion to waive penalties for qualifying juvenile offenders who complete an approved intervention program.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under the Mounds View Housing Code should be aware that § 150.999 makes ongoing, uncorrected violations especially costly, since each day of noncompliance with §§ 150.001–150.007, 150.050–150.054, or 150.065–150.073 can be charged as a distinct misdemeanor offense. Compliant operators generally address code deficiencies promptly upon notice and maintain documentation of corrective actions to demonstrate good-faith efforts. Violations involving fire-related provisions may also trigger enforcement by the Fire Marshal, including removal of prohibited conditions regardless of any criminal penalty imposed.
