Under CH. 380 § 380-12, property owners or managers who receive a Board of Health order and wish to contest it generally act promptly, as the window to request a hearing is only seven days from receipt of the order. A compliant operator keeps records of when orders are received to ensure any written petition is filed within that deadline.
