N.D. Admin. Code ch. 33-33-01 § 33-33-01-06
Maintenance of service buildings
Operative Text
Service buildings, sinks, toilets, and other equipment must be kept in a clean and sanitary condition and in good repair at all times.
Under N.D. Admin. Code ch. 33-33-01 § 33-33-01-06, service buildings and their associated fixtures—including sinks, toilets, and related equipment—must be maintained in a clean, sanitary, and properly functioning state on a continuous basis. The rule does not allow for temporary lapses in cleanliness or repair; the standard applies at all times. This requirement applies to the condition of the physical facilities themselves, not to any particular occupant's behavior.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of service buildings covered by N.D. Admin. Code ch. 33-33-01 § 33-33-01-06 generally establish routine inspection and cleaning schedules to ensure that sinks, toilets, and other equipment remain sanitary and in good working order without interruption. Compliant operators address repair needs promptly rather than allowing deficiencies to persist, since the rule sets a continuous standard. Keeping maintenance logs and service records can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

N.D. Admin. Code ch. 33-33-01 § 33-33-01-06 establishes that tenants or occupants of facilities with service buildings are entitled to access sinks, toilets, and related equipment that are clean, sanitary, and in good repair at all times. If these conditions are not being met, general enforcement paths may include documenting the deficiency, notifying the property operator in writing, and contacting the relevant North Dakota state or local health authority to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations can also help explain what options may be available under this provision.
