Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2690
ENFORCEMENT.
Operative Text
A. Property owners shall comply with lead orders issued under Minnesota Statutes, section 144.9504, subdivision 5, within 60 days of when the order is issued or within 60 days of when weather permits for exterior work. Property owners are subject to enforcement actions if compliance is not met. B. Parts 4761.2000 to 4761.2700 are subject to the Health Enforcement Consolidation Act, Minnesota Statutes, sections 144.989 to 144.993.
Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2690 establishes that property owners must act on lead orders issued under Minnesota Statutes, section 144.9504, subdivision 5, within 60 days of the order's issuance—or within 60 days after weather allows for any required exterior work. Failure to meet these deadlines exposes property owners to enforcement actions. The broader set of lead-related rules (Parts 4761.2000 to 4761.2700) falls under the Health Enforcement Consolidation Act, which provides the legal framework for how violations are pursued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2690, compliant property owners track the issuance date of any lead order and complete all required remediation within the 60-day window, or document that exterior conditions prevented timely completion and act promptly once weather permits. Operators generally maintain records of work completed, contractor invoices, and any correspondence with the issuing authority to demonstrate compliance. Because the Health Enforcement Consolidation Act governs these rules, non-compliance can trigger formal enforcement proceedings under that statutory framework.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Minn. R. 4761 § 4761.2690 gives tenants a basis to understand that their landlord is legally required to address lead orders within a defined timeframe, and that failure to do so can result in enforcement action against the property owner. Tenants who believe a lead order has not been addressed within the required 60-day period may consider contacting the Minnesota Department of Health, which administers lead-related rules under the Health Enforcement Consolidation Act. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a property owner appears to be out of compliance.
