Jackson Code of Ordinances § 26-530

in effect

Sec. 26-530. - Appeal. (a) Any owner denied a certificate of compliance by the department after a fourth unsatisfactory inspection may appeal the department's decision in writing to the director of the planning and development department or their designee. The director or their designee will have the authority to conduct another inspection to verify the condition of the unit in order to resolve the appeal. If the director or their designee declines to give the owner any relief when deciding the appeal, the director or their designee will issue a written decision on the appeal and provide the owner with a copy of the written decision. The director's written decision will be issued within 45 days. An owner still aggrieved by the decision may appeal that decision in writing to the city council within 30 days of the decision. (b) Any owner aggrieved by any other decision of the department, including its interpretation of this article, may appeal in writing to the director of the planning and development department or their designee within 30 days of the department's decision. If the director or their designee declines to give the owner any relief when deciding the appeal, the director or their designee will issue a written decision on the appeal and provide the owner with a copy of the written decision. An owner still aggrieved by the decision may appeal that decision in writing to the city council within 30 days of the decision. (c) An owner may continue to operate its rental units while an appeal to the director of the planning and development or their designee filed under this article is pending unless doing so would, in the opinion of the director or their designee, present a clear and substantial threat to the health and safety of the tenants residing in the owner's units.
