Under § 176-16, property owners and managers who appear before the Board of Appeals for Building can expect that their submissions—such as requests for a hearing and entries of appearance—will become part of a permanent public record. Compliant operators typically retain their own copies of all documents submitted to or received from the Board, since the official record maintained under this provision is accessible to the public. Familiarity with what the record contains can help operators track the status and outcome of any appeal proceeding.
