Full Breakdown
Before a rental license issues or renews, Maple Grove requires an inspection of the proposed rental unit and premises to confirm compliance with city ordinances, using the minimum standard set out in § 8-90. Inspections cover the building exterior, common areas, basements, and accessory structures. If an owner fails to schedule or allow the compliance official's inspection request, the license application or renewal is rejected outright. Owners of licensed units must also run their own self-inspection program under § 10-399, documenting checks at tenant turnover and at least annually.
Violations & Fines
Refusing to schedule or allow the required inspection results in automatic rejection of the license application or renewal under § 10-397; refusing access to an already-licensed unit can trigger provisional licensure or revocation under § 10-398.
