Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-3-45
Record (Rochester Housing Code)
Operative Text
The code official shall cause a report to be filed on an unsafe condition. The report shall state the occupancy of the structure and the nature of the unsafe condition.
Under Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-3-45, when a code official identifies an unsafe condition in a structure, they are required to create and file an official report documenting it. That report must include two specific pieces of information: the occupancy status of the structure and a description of the nature of the unsafe condition. This provision establishes a formal recordkeeping obligation tied to the inspection and enforcement process.

Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-3-45 places the filing obligation on the code official, not the property owner, but operators should be aware that any unsafe condition identified during an inspection will result in an official written record. Compliant property managers typically maintain their own internal documentation of inspections, repairs, and remediation efforts so that their records align with or respond to any official report that may be filed. Staying proactive about addressing unsafe conditions before an inspection can reduce the likelihood that such a report is ever generated.
