Under § 96-51, property owners and managers should be aware that any enforcement action or determination issued by a Code Enforcement Officer is subject to appeal by an aggrieved party, including the owner. Operators who receive a notice of violation and wish to contest it generally ensure that a formal notice of appeal is filed with the Code Enforcement Officer within the 15-day window from the date of service. Maintaining clear records of when notices of violation are received helps operators track this strict filing deadline.
