Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 165-25, property owners and managers who receive a notice of violation from a Code Enforcement Officer should be aware that a 15-day window opens from the date of service of that notice during which an appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals may be initiated. Compliant operators typically track the service date carefully and, if they intend to contest a determination, file the required notice of appeal with the Code Enforcement Officer before that window closes. Maintaining organized records of all correspondence with the Code Enforcement Officer helps ensure that service dates are clearly documented.
