Under Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-8-28, compliant property operators typically establish a records file at the time of installation that documents the contractor's name, component types and manufacturers, floor-by-floor placement details, and the accompanying manufacturer manuals. These records are not temporary — they must be preserved for as long as the installation remains in place. Operators generally store these documents in a secure, accessible location and update their recordkeeping practices to ensure nothing is discarded prematurely.
