Under Le Roy Mun. Code § 9-8-7, property owners and managers who disagree with a violation notice or a certificate-of-compliance denial, suspension, or revocation have a defined window to seek review. Compliant operators generally track the date of any Code Official action carefully, since the written appeal—including a full statement of reasons, supporting facts, and all intended evidence—must be filed with the Code Official within 14 days. Operators familiar with this process typically organize their documentation in advance so the appeal submission is complete and timely.
