The provision applies to any party seeking to contest an official order under the rental dwelling code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.136, property owners and managers who receive an order or notice of action from a code official should be aware that the window to file an appeal is very short — ten days from service of the order, or the correction period granted, whichever ends sooner. Compliant operators typically track the exact date an order is served and calendar the appeal deadline immediately upon receipt. Keeping organized records of all correspondence with the code official helps ensure that deadlines under this provision are not inadvertently missed.

Section 113.136 of Dayton's Rental Dwellings code also applies to tenants who may have standing to appeal a code official's order or action affecting their dwelling. The appeal window is no longer than ten days from the date the order is served, so anyone wishing to contest an official decision should be aware that this deadline arrives quickly. Tenants seeking to understand their rights under this provision may benefit from contacting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general guidance on the appeals process.
