The purpose of the ordinance is to “provide minimum standards to promote public safety, to safeguard life, limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the use and occupancy, construction and maintenance of all Rental Dwellings within the City (City Code Section 124.01)”.
The ordinance requires all Rental Dwelling Units to be licensed and to be inspected by the Building Official.
LICENSING AND INSPECTION
Residential rental property owners are required to submit a completed Rental Licensing and Inspection Application annually for each rental property. Applications may be submitted electronically to the Planning Department, by e-mail, mail, or in person at:
Attn: Planning Department
210 East 1st Street
Jordan, MN 55352
Receiving a Rental License:
To obtain a rental license, the rental property owner must:
1. Submit a completed Rental Application Packet and Application Fee ($10 per unit *50 unit rental apartment would be 50x$10)
2. Pass an inspection ($80/Unit) (Call Metro West Inspection Services after payment/application submittal to schedule for an inspection)
After completing steps 1-2, the City will issue a Rental License for the property. The Rental License must be renewed on an annual basis and re-inspection will be required every 3 years. The license must be posted (in a frame with a protective covering) in a common area, hallway, or lobby of buildings with 4 or more dwelling units.
Inspections:
Submit application and payment and then call Metro West Inspection Services to schedule an inspection (The City of Jordan does NOT schedule the inspections)
The building inspector will meet you, the property owner, at the property on the date/time you have scheduled for the inspection. During the inspection the building inspector will inform you of any code violations. A property will pass the inspection with no violations are found. If violations are found to exist, the property owner will be provided a set amount of time before they must schedule a second inspection. The building inspector will then return to the property to ensure the violations identified have been abated.
*Exceptions: A rental dwelling is not subject to inspections if it is being rented to a qualifying relative or within a hotel, motel, hospital or nursing home, assisted living, group home, or independent living facility, or board and lodging home licensed and inspected by the State of Minnesota for compliance with state building and/or fire codes.
