Even though <br />uhgh the work was done <br />ruled that violation <br />without a building permit, the Minnesota Court of Appeals <br />of ordinances unrelating to land use do not render nonconforming uses uhi wfh I uam <br />In Hooper v. City of St. Paul, 353 N.W.2d 138 (Minn. 1984), copy <br />enclosing with this letter, the court ruled that the building code is not a land use <br />ordinance and therefore violation of the building code does not affect lawful <br />nonconforming use status. The city's remedies for such a violation are the remedies <br />that are available under the building code itself. <br />If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me. <br />4JTin rel e .
