Saint James, Minn., Mun. Code doc-2080 (2026) § 92.25
DECERTIFICATION
Operative Text
(A) Operators who do not maintain compliance with the certification requirements will lose their certification. (B) Prior to decertification, an operator shall appear before the City Council to review compliance with the program requirements. If the City Council finds the operator has not maintained compliance with the certification requirements, the City Council may either decertify the owner or property manager, or order full compliance within no more than 90 days. (C) An operator who is decertified shall not be eligible to reapply for program certification for a period of two years following the date of decertification. This prohibition may be waived by the City Council after finding extenuating circumstances related to the decertification, and a likelihood that the operator will remain certified, as required by this subchapter. (Ord. 10, third series, passed 10-6-2009)
Saint James Crime Free Rental Housing § 92.25 establishes a decertification process for rental property operators who fail to maintain compliance with the program's certification requirements. Before losing certification, an operator must appear before the City Council, which may either revoke certification outright or grant up to 90 days to come into full compliance. An operator who is decertified is barred from reapplying for two years, though the City Council may waive that waiting period if it finds extenuating circumstances and a likelihood of future compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 92.25, operators who participate in the Saint James Crime Free Rental Housing program are expected to maintain ongoing compliance with all certification requirements to avoid triggering the decertification process. A compliant operator generally keeps documentation of program adherence current and responds promptly to any City Council inquiries, since the Council serves as the reviewing body before any decertification action is taken. Operators who receive a compliance order have no more than 90 days to resolve deficiencies, and those who are decertified should be aware of the two-year reapplication bar and the limited waiver process available through the City Council.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 92.25 of the Saint James Crime Free Rental Housing program governs how the City Council can remove an operator's certification when program requirements are not met. Tenants who believe their landlord or property manager is not meeting program standards may bring concerns to the attention of the City Council, which holds the authority to review compliance and take action. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can help residents understand what the program requires of operators and what avenues exist for raising compliance concerns.
