Prior Lake City Code Section 5-200 requires the exterior of all buildings and structures to be maintained in good repair, structurally sound, and in a sanitary condition.
Section 5-200 makes property maintenance an enforceable obligation: the exterior of all buildings and structures must be maintained in good repair, structurally sound, and in a sanitary condition so as not to pose a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare of other property owners in the vicinity. Combined with the public nuisance language in Chapter 5, the city pursues peeling paint, rotting trim, broken windows, sagging gutters, deteriorated roofing, junk vehicles (Sec. 5-134), tall grass over 12 inches (Sec. 5-24), and improperly stored trash (Sec. 5-23). The Code Enforcement Officer (952-447-9800) investigates complaints and issues compliance orders with cure periods.
Property maintenance violations are misdemeanors with fines up to $1,000 per violation. Repeat offenders face escalating administrative fees and possible abatement at the owner's expense.
