Minneapolis, MN Building Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detectors (2026)

Article XVII of Chapter 244, the city's Housing Maintenance Code, adopts Minnesota Statutes §§ 299F.50 to 299F.51 by reference as Minneapolis Code § 244.2100, so a missing or non-functioning carbon monoxide alarm is enforced as a local ordinance violation, not just a state infraction. Under the adopted state standard, an approved alarm must be UL2034-certified, and requirements phased in by dwelling type: single-family homes needed one by August 1, 2008, and other multifamily or apartment units by August 1, 2009. Because Minneapolis folded the statute straight into its own code rather than writing a separate local standard, rental property inspectors and the city's regulatory services department can cite violations directly under Chapter 244.
