  The statute in effect in 1973 provided that a civil action could be maintained under the Housing Code
Enforcement Act on the ground that a nuisance existed with respect to a dwelling by the municipality or
one-third of the tenants. Section 441.510 RSMo 1969. The statute was amended in 1993 to allow certain
not-for-profits and owners or tenants within 1,200 feet of the nuisance property to bring suit. In 1998, the
statute was amended to allow only the county or municipality to bring an action. In 2001, the statute was
amended again and now allows only the county, municipality, local housing corporation, or neighborhood
association to bring an action under the Act. Thus, tenants occupying a noncompliant dwelling have no
personal right of action under the statute.
