Dilworth Ch. 152 Rental Units § 152.15 establishes the process by which the Board of Appeals resolves appeals of compliance orders. After receiving an appeal, the Board must schedule a hearing within 30 calendar days and provide the appellant at least five business days' written notice of when and where it will take place. The Board has authority to reverse, modify, or affirm the compliance order in whole or in part, and if the appeal is upheld, it may order that the filing fee be returned. Any decision that affirms or modifies the order must include a specific timeframe for correcting the identified violations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.15, property owners or managers who have filed an appeal of a compliance order should expect to receive written notice of their hearing date at least five business days in advance, with the hearing itself occurring within 30 calendar days of filing. Compliant operators track the Board's decision carefully, since any affirmation or modification of the compliance order will include a designated deadline by which the cited violations must be corrected. Keeping records of the appeal filing, all correspondence, and the Board's final decision supports timely compliance with whatever outcome is issued.

Section 152.15 of Dilworth Ch. 152 governs how the Board of Appeals handles challenges to compliance orders, which can be relevant to tenants when a landlord appeals an order tied to conditions in their rental unit. Tenants may wish to be aware that the Board can uphold, modify, or reverse such orders, and that any upheld or modified order will carry a specific correction deadline. Tenants who believe their housing conditions are affected by an ongoing compliance order process may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization for general information about how the appeals process may affect their situation.
