Prepare for an Hearing

Hearings ensure owners fix code violations. This step helps prevent and reduce blight.

To prepare for a hearing, send papers showing ownership, permit info, and other compliance actions using the form below. If you have photos showing work fixing violations, include them.

These documents are used as evidence in the hearing.

Suggested Documents

Below are some of the documents to bring:

  • Photos showing the front, back, and sides of property where fixes occurred
  • Permits
  • Contracts
  • Certificates
  • Rebuilding Program Documents
  • Bill of Sale, Deed, or Succession Documents

Checklist

This checklist helps owners prepare items they need for a hearing. Using the checklist is optional and won’t be used in any hearings.
