In 1993, the City enacted the Property Maintenance Code (“the Housing
Code”), which “[e]stablishes minimum maintenance standards for all structures and
premises for basic equipment and facilities for light, ventilation, heating and
sanitation; for safety from fire; for crime prevention; for space, use and location; and
for safe and sanitary maintenance of all structures and premises.” St. Paul, Minn.
Code § 34.01(1). Sometime shortly before or during 2002, the City established the
Department of Neighborhood Housing and Property Improvement (“DNHPI”) as an
executive department responsible for administering and enforcing the Housing Code.
DNHPI was empowered to inspect all one- and two-family dwellings and administer
and enforce laws regulating maintenance of residential property.
