Adverse audit results, suspensions or revocations of permit simplicity certified professional status are subject to appeal to the building board of appeals. If the permit simplicity certified professional has reason to believe that adverse audit results, or the suspension or revocation of permit simplicity certification privileges is not warranted, the permit simplicity certified professional has the right to request in writing, within ten business days of the date on which notice is mailed, a hearing before the building board of appeals. A hearing before the building board of appeals is solely to determine whether adverse audit results, or the suspension or revocation of permit simplicity certification privileges is warranted. If a hearing under this rule is requested in a timely manner, such hearing shall be commenced within 45 business days or receipt of such request. If no hearing under this rule is requested in a timely manner, or if a hearing is requested in a timely manner but the permit simplicity certified professional fails to appear at such hearing, the permit simplicity certified professional shall be deemed to have waived the right to such hearing and such privileges shall be deemed, by operation of law, to have been revoked by the building official on the date stated on the notice of revocation required by this rule. Conversely, if the permit simplicity certified professional submits a written request for a hearing, but fails to appear at such hearing, the building official may, upon a showing of good cause, reschedule the hearing. The permit simplicity certified professional may appeal, within 15 business days of the date on which the decision is mailed, an adverse ruling by the building board of appeals to the city council.
