Hennepin County Public Health investigates pest complaints in rental and food-service properties. Minnesota State Building Code and city housing maintenance codes require owners to keep dwellings free of rodents, cockroaches, and bed bugs.
Hennepin County Public Health enforces the Minnesota Food Code in restaurants and the housing maintenance provisions of Minn. Stat. 504B in rentals. Property owners must maintain pest-free conditions, repair entry points, and respond to tenant pest complaints within reasonable timeframes. Cities including Minneapolis (Title 12 Chapter 244) and Bloomington run rental licensing programs that include pest inspections. Bed-bug infestations are a growing focus; Minnesota Department of Health publishes treatment guidance, and Hennepin County offers educational resources, particularly for shelter and supportive-housing settings under HCMC and county human-services oversight.
Owners can be cited under Minneapolis 244 and similar city codes for unaddressed infestations, with fines starting near 200 dollars per inspection and rental license revocation possible for repeat issues affecting habitability.
