POINT OF CONVERSION INSPECTION
Operative Text
Whenever a dwelling is converted to a licensed rental dwelling, the dwelling shall be licensed and inspected for compliance with the minimum standards set forth in § 151.03 of this code. The fee for the conversion required by this section shall be in the amount set by the City Council. This fee shall be in addition to the annual rental license fee. This provision shall not apply to apartment buildings. (Ord. 2009-3, passed 8-24-2009)
Osseo Ch. 46 Rental Dwellings § 151.34 establishes that any dwelling being converted into a licensed rental unit must first be inspected and confirmed to meet the minimum housing standards defined in § 151.03 before it can operate as a rental. A separate conversion inspection fee, set by the City Council, is charged on top of the regular annual rental license fee. This requirement applies to individual dwelling conversions but explicitly does not extend to apartment buildings.

Under § 151.34, property owners converting a residential dwelling into a rental unit in Osseo must arrange for a point-of-conversion inspection and ensure the property meets the minimum standards outlined in § 151.03 before the rental license is issued. Compliant operators budget for the City Council-established conversion fee as a distinct cost separate from the annual rental license fee. Because apartment buildings are exempt from this provision, operators of multi-unit apartment properties are not subject to this particular inspection requirement.
