Operative Text
The board of housing appeals shall establish rules and regulations for its own procedure not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter.
Section 12-161 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code authorizes the Board of Housing Appeals to create its own procedural rules, provided those rules do not conflict with the broader requirements of Chapter 12. This provision gives the Board internal rulemaking authority over how it conducts its proceedings. The rules the Board adopts govern the process by which appeals and hearings before it are carried out.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-161, the Board of Housing Appeals operates according to procedural rules it has established for itself within the framework of Chapter 12. Operators who appear before the Board — for example, in connection with a housing violation or appeal — should obtain and review the Board's current procedural rules before any proceeding. Staying informed about those rules helps ensure that submissions, appearances, and deadlines are handled in accordance with the Board's requirements.
