Mount Carmel — Ch. 12 Housing § 12-133
Hearing on suspension of permit; revocation
Operative Text
Any person whose permit issued pursuant to this division to operate a rooming house has been suspended, or who has received notice from the city inspector that his permit is to be suspended unless existing conditions or practices at his rooming house are corrected may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the board of appeals; provided, however, that if no petition for such hearing is filed within 30 days following the day on which such permit was suspended, the permit shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked.
Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-133, a rooming house operator whose permit has been suspended — or who has received notice of a pending suspension contingent on correcting conditions — has the right to request a hearing before the board of appeals. If no hearing petition is filed within 30 days of the suspension date, the permit is automatically treated as permanently revoked without any further action required by the city. This provision establishes both a procedural right and a strict deadline that determines whether the operator retains any opportunity to contest the suspension.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-133, rooming house operators who receive a suspension notice or an advance warning of suspension from the city inspector generally act promptly to understand the 30-day window for filing a hearing petition with the board of appeals. Compliant operators typically document the date of suspension or notice and track the deadline carefully, since missing it results in automatic revocation with no further recourse through this process. Operators also commonly address the underlying conditions cited by the inspector, as the provision contemplates that corrections may be part of resolving the matter.

Section 12-133 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code governs the process by which a rooming house permit can be suspended or revoked, which directly affects tenants living in those properties. If a rooming house operator loses their permit through automatic revocation — because no hearing was requested within 30 days — tenants may have grounds to raise housing-code concerns with the city inspector or other local authorities. Tenants in rooming houses subject to suspension proceedings may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what protections or relocation options may be available under local law.
