Saint Anthony, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 155 (2026) § 152.14
CONDITION OF LICENSED PREMISES
Operative Text
(A) Compliance order. Whenever the City Manager or designee determines that the condition of any rental dwelling or the premises surrounding it fails to meet the provisions of this chapter, other applicable city code provisions, or the International Property Maintenance Code, he or she may issue a compliance order setting forth the specific violations and ordering the owner to correct such violations. Failure to meet the expectations stated within a compliance order issued for a violation of any section of city code may result in the City Council denying, suspending, revoking or not renewing a rental license consistent with the procedures established in § 152.15 . (B) Contents of the compliance order. The compliance order shall: (1) Be in writing; (2) Describe the location and nature of the violations; (3) Set forth a reasonable time for the correction of the violations by the owner or resident agent; and (4) Be served upon the owner and resident agent either personally or by certified mail. A copy of the compliance order shall also be provided to the occupants of the rental dwelling. (C) License action. If the violations listed in the compliance order are not remedied by the owner or resident agent within the specified time given in the order, the license for the rental dwelling may be denied, suspended, revoked, or not renewed by the city. An administrative fine in an amount set forth from time to time by the City Council by resolution may also be imposed. If the city decides that it will be denying, suspending, revoking, or not renewing a license or imposing an administrative fine pursuant to this chapter, the city shall send a notice of the proposed action to the owner and resident agent of the rental dwelling. (D) Appeal. When it is alleged by the owner or resident agent that the compliance order is based upon the erroneous interpretation of this chapter, other applicable city code provisions, or the International Property Maintenance Code, the owner or resident agent may appeal the compliance order to the City Council. Such appeal shall be in writing, must specify the grounds for the appeal, and must be filed with the city within five business days after service of the compliance order. (Prior Code, § 150.133) (Ord. 08-003, passed 4-22-2008; Ord. 2025-06, passed 10-28-2025) Penalty, see § 10.99
Saint Anthony Ch. 155 Rental Housing Regulations § 152.14 establishes a formal process by which the City Manager or designee can issue written compliance orders when a rental dwelling or its surrounding premises fails to meet applicable code standards, including the International Property Maintenance Code. If an owner or resident agent does not correct the cited violations within the time specified in the order, the city may deny, suspend, revoke, or decline to renew the rental license, and may also impose an administrative fine set by City Council resolution. Owners and resident agents have the right to appeal a compliance order to the City Council within five business days of service if they believe the order rests on an erroneous interpretation of the applicable codes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.14, compliant rental operators generally respond promptly to any compliance order issued by the City Manager or designee, addressing each cited violation within the timeframe specified in the written order. Operators who receive a compliance order should document all corrective actions taken, since unresolved violations can trigger license denial, suspension, revocation, or non-renewal, as well as an administrative fine in an amount set by City Council resolution. If an operator believes a compliance order misapplies the code, § 152.14(D) provides a written appeal pathway to the City Council, which must be initiated within five business days of service of the order.

Section § 152.14 requires that a copy of any compliance order issued for a rental dwelling be provided to the occupants of that dwelling, giving tenants direct notice of cited violations and the correction timeline imposed on the owner or resident agent. If violations go uncorrected and the city pursues license action, tenants may wish to contact local tenant-rights organizations to understand how a license denial, suspension, or revocation could affect their housing situation. Tenants who believe conditions in their unit violate applicable city code or the International Property Maintenance Code can report concerns to the City Manager's office, which has authority under § 152.14 to initiate the compliance order process.
