Create new appeals board to review building code decisions
In Plain English
The city currently has no formal way for property owners to challenge building department decisions or fines. This law creates a 5-member appeals board where residents can contest rulings about permits, violations, or penalties. If approved, property owners get an independent review process instead of only dealing directly with city staff.
