St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV § 18-69 establishes the grounds on which the city may deny, suspend, or revoke a rental property license. The provision lists seventeen distinct reasons, ranging from noncompliance with property maintenance codes and failure to pay city fees, to fraudulent application statements, unresolved code violations, and lapsed insurance. A license action can be triggered by conduct on the premises, delinquent taxes, failed inspections, or even a prior license denial or revocation by another governmental body.
