North Minneapolis, which has a history of troubled property ownership, accounts for more than 40% of the city’s violations despite containing just 15% of the city’s housing stock.
When the Bell Lofts apartment building flooded, Minneapolis invoked an ordinance that requires property owners to pay displaced rental tenants. The tenants have been paid but the case isn’t closed.
Almost two months later, the apartment building is condemned and only about half of the families have found new places to live, the rest are about to lose their temporary homes.
Former residents of a condemned north Minneapolis apartment building are outraged after they say the landlord didn't follow through on a promise to return their security deposits in full.
