Create 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 on permits or code violations. The new board gives residents and contractors a path to appeal when they disagree with the Building Official's rulings. If approved, a 5-member board hears these disputes instead of forcing appeals into court.
