If I don’t agree with the Building Official’s interpretation of a building code requirement that affects my job, can I appeal that decision? How?
Yes, you can appeal the building official’s interpretation of the adopted codes. You must notify the building official in writing of your intent to appeal. The building official will then assemble the City’s Building Codes Appeal Board and notify you of the date of the hearing. The Board can only hear appeals relating to code interpretations. They cannot grant variances to the adopted codes.
