Harwood Heights — Title 19 Fair Housing § 19.24.010
Appeal procedures
Operative Text
The decision of the president and board of trustees on such appeal shall be final. After a decision by the president and board of trustees has been rendered, the aggrieved person may apply for judicial review under writ of certiorara.
Under Harwood Heights Title 19 Fair Housing § 19.24.010, once the president and board of trustees issue a ruling on a fair housing appeal, that decision is considered final at the administrative level. The provision does not close the door entirely, however — a person who remains aggrieved after the board's decision may seek further review by asking a court to examine the matter through a writ of certiorari. This two-step structure defines the outer boundary of the local administrative process and the threshold at which judicial oversight becomes available.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers subject to a fair housing proceeding in Harwood Heights, § 19.24.010 establishes that the president and board of trustees have the last word within the local administrative system. A compliant operator generally keeps thorough records of all submissions, hearings, and correspondence throughout the appeal process, since those materials would form the factual record if a party later pursues judicial review via writ of certiorari. Understanding that the board's decision is administratively final helps operators plan their response and documentation strategy at each stage of the proceeding.
