I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and am considering finishing a room in my basement that currently has a floor drain in it. Does anyone out there know whether there is a requirement in the city of Minneapolis to maintain a floor drain in the basement? It’s a 1930s house so older. I have owned 2 other homes in other parts of the country 1950s and 1970’s construction and neither of them had a basement floor drain. So maybe this was an old requirement?

I am not there but I never saw such a requirement anywhere I have experience. Our house, being over 100 years old, had a drain that I replaced with a sump crock and pump. 100 years ago they thought about where houses were located and without sump pumps, they often put in a gravity drain to a daylight opening.
