Oakdale, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-01
Establishing the Oakdale Property Maintenance Code
Operative Text
The City of Oakdale does hereby adopt, by reference, the most current edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), as published by the International Code Council, Inc. (ICC) as modified and amended in this chapter which shall be known as the Property Maintenance Code of the City of Oakdale.
Oakdale Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-01 establishes the city's Property Maintenance Code by formally incorporating the most current edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), published by the International Code Council, as the local standard, subject to any modifications made elsewhere in Chapter 7. This means the IPMC's requirements for maintaining buildings, structures, and properties carry the force of local law in Oakdale. Any amendments or local adjustments to those standards are also found within Chapter 7.

Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with both the base IPMC standards and any Oakdale-specific amendments found throughout Chapter 7.

Oakdale Code of Ordinances ch. 7 § 7-01 means that tenants in Oakdale have the protections of the IPMC—covering habitability and property maintenance standards—as part of local law. If a rental property appears to fall short of those standards, tenants generally have options such as contacting the appropriate Oakdale code enforcement office, raising a maintenance violation as part of a housing complaint, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Because Chapter 7 may also include local amendments to the base IPMC, reviewing the full chapter can help clarify which specific standards apply.
