Violations; enforcement procedure
Operative Text
(a) If the code enforcement officer determines that a dwelling or dwelling unit is in violation of this article, the code enforcement officer shall mail a deficiency notice to the owner or its duly authorized resident agent. The notice shall identify the reasons why the dwelling or dwelling unit is in violation. (b) The notice shall set a date by which all deficiencies must be cured. The date of cure shall not be less than 21 days from the date of the notice nor more than 40 days from the date of the notice. It shall also set a date for re-inspection. (c) If upon re-inspection all deficiencies have not been cured, a second deficiency notice shall be sent to the owner or the owners duly authorized resident agent. The owner shall have ten days from the date of the second deficiency notice to correct those deficiencies noted thereon. The second deficiency notice shall also set a date for re-inspection, which shall not be more than 15 days from the date of the notice. (d) Upon failure to satisfy the second deficiency notice, the dwelling or dwelling unit rental license shall be subject to an action for denial, suspension, nonrenewal or revocation.
White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-250 establishes a two-stage notice process for addressing rental housing violations. When a code enforcement officer identifies a violation, the property owner receives a written deficiency notice with a cure window of 21 to 40 days, followed by a re-inspection. If deficiencies remain after that first re-inspection, a second notice is issued giving the owner ten more days to comply; failure to satisfy that second notice can trigger denial, suspension, nonrenewal, or revocation of the rental license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under White Bear Township Code of Ordinances ch. 6, art. VII § 6-250, compliant rental operators generally act promptly upon receiving a deficiency notice, addressing all cited violations well within the stated cure period and ensuring the property is ready for re-inspection. Keeping thorough records of repairs — including contractor invoices, photos, and completion dates — supports a clear demonstration of compliance at each inspection stage. Operators who allow deficiencies to persist through both notice cycles risk formal action against their rental license, including possible revocation.
