If the Building Official determines that any person has failed to comply with this chapter or any applicable Township ordinances or State code, the Building Official may suspend the license held by that person. A notice of suspension shall be provided by first class mail. A person aggrieved by such a suspension, or the initial denial of license, may appeal to the Construction Board of Appeals of the Township in writing within twenty days of issuance of the suspension or denial of license. During the appeal process to the Construction Board of Appeals, the dwelling unit may continue to be occupied until a final determination of the Construction Board of Appeals. A fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) is required at the time an appeal application is filed. Upon receipt of the request for appeal and application fee, the Board of Appeals shall hear and consider the matter. Failure to file a timely appeal will result in revocation of the license. The property owner and/or property manager or property owner's agent shall have the right to appear and be represented by counsel. The Board of Appeals, after proper hearing, shall issue its Order of Decision. There shall be no appeal to the Township Board. If an appeal is denied the license is revoked. If the appeal is granted, the license suspension is terminated and the application fee shall be returned by the Building Department. A notice of revocation shall be provided by first class mail.
