- Minneapolis did not inspect public housing units for nearly 30 years, despite a city ordinance requiring it.
- Two tenants filed lawsuits, leading to a court ruling in 2020 that the city must inspect public housing like private rentals.
- The City only began routine inspections after a state law change last year, and the housing authority declined to comment due to ongoing litigation.
