Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a condemnation or placarding order under tit. V § 212 should be aware that any affected party—including the owner—may trigger a formal review by submitting a written hearing request. Compliant operators typically maintain records of all official orders and correspondence related to dwelling conditions, so they can respond promptly within the procedural framework of paragraphs 203 through 209. Understanding the hearing process in advance helps operators engage constructively with the hearing officer if a condemnation order is disputed.
