Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.17 establishes a formal appeal pathway for anyone directly affected by an administrative citation, decision, or order issued by the Code Official under the residential rental licensing chapter. Appeals are heard by a hearing officer through an administrative hearing process governed by City Code § 10.98. The City Council also holds authority to set, by ordinance, a filing fee that must accompany any such appeal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.17, property owners or managers who receive an administrative citation or adverse order from the Code Official have a defined right to contest that action through an administrative hearing before a hearing officer. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the appeal procedures outlined in City Code § 10.98 and check whether the City Council has established a filing fee by ordinance before submitting any appeal. Keeping records of all citations and correspondence with the Code Official supports a well-organized appeal submission.

Jordan Ch. 124 § 124.17 makes clear that the appeal right extends to any person 'directly affected' by a Code Official's citation, decision, or order — not just the property owner — meaning tenants who are directly impacted may also have standing to pursue an administrative hearing under City Code § 10.98. Tenants exploring this path would generally want to confirm whether a filing fee has been set by City Council ordinance before initiating an appeal. Local tenant-rights organizations can help clarify whether a particular situation qualifies as being 'directly affected' under this provision.
