City Attempting to Pull Rental License of Minneapolis Property Manager

RELATED: 1 Hurt after Minneapolis Apartment Building Wall Collapses

The city lists the property manager as Stephen Frenz.

Frez said in an email the collapse was an, "unfortuane accident" but there was no structural damage.

Frenz explained he met with city inspectors Wednesday morning and is working to repair the facade and the electrical connection. He said he is hoping resident will be back in the building by Thursday afternoon.

"This is a wonderful property in a wonderful neighborhood and we desire to have our residents homes restored as quickly as possible," Frenz said in email.

According to city inspector documents, Frenz has until Sept. 7 to repair the "hazardous conditions due to brick facade failure."

A city spokesperson confirmed Frenz is the subject of an investigation of various issues surrounding nearly 60 rental sites, and that the city "has initiated an action to revoke all of his rental licenses."

Frenz said the license actions by the city are, "completely unrelated" to the accident.

It’s not clear what would happen to the tenants living at those properties if Frenz loses those licenses.

The city plans to hold a revocation hearing Sept. 5. It could last several days.

Rent control rumored to be driving apartment sales | News

Mountain View's rent- control program has already survived political and legal trials -- but what about the business test? An increasing number of apartment owners appear to be cashing out rather than working under the new restrictions. If the trend continues, some say it will lead to a cascade of redevelopment spearheaded by large corporate buyers . This scenario would result in older apartments being phased out and replaced with new housing that is exempt from rent control. Those looking at the data with a more critical eye point out that sales of apartment buildings are up throughout the South Bay, and that the number of buyers indicates a healthy interest in investing in Mountain View housing , regardless of rent control. To take one example, Fremont residents Ann and Paul Lethers decided in June to sell their 18-unit complex on Del Medio Avenue in Mountain View, which they created from separate purchases of two adjacent nine-unit buildings. They say they h...
