Operative Text
A. An appeal from an order, determination, or regulation of the agency shall be taken to the Board. B. Such appeal shall be filed, on forms provided by the Board and made available at the agency, simultaneously with the agency and the Board, within the time limit established by the agency. Compliance with a violation order shall not be required while an appeal is pending, unless the premises are a nuisance, dangerous or unsafe, in which event adequate protective measures shall be taken. C. The appellant shall serve upon the Board copies or transcripts of all records of the matter at issue. D. The time in which an appeal must be commenced is 15 days from service of the violation order appealed from, and the appellant must serve and file his notice of appeal within such time. E. The fee for filing a notice of appeal shall be set from time to time by the Board of Trustees and must be paid to the Village Clerk with service of the notice of appeal. The notice of appeal shall also be served upon the Village Clerk and said service shall be deemed sufficient.
Section 431-23 of Island Park's Code of Ordinances establishes the procedure for appealing orders, determinations, or regulations issued by the local housing agency. An appeal must be filed simultaneously with both the agency and the Board within 15 days of being served with a violation order, using forms the Board provides. While an appeal is pending, compliance with a violation order is generally suspended unless the property is deemed a nuisance, dangerous, or unsafe, in which case protective measures must still be taken. A filing fee set by the Board of Trustees must be paid to the Village Clerk when the notice of appeal is served.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a violation order under ch. 431 § 431-23 should be aware that a 15-day window from service of the order governs when an appeal may be initiated. Compliant operators typically obtain the required appeal forms from the agency, file simultaneously with both the agency and the Board, and pay the applicable fee to the Village Clerk at the time of service. Operators also ensure that all records and transcripts related to the matter are provided to the Board as required, and they remain attentive to any nuisance, dangerous, or unsafe conditions that may require protective action even during a pending appeal.

Under § 431-23, tenants and other parties affected by an agency order have the right to appeal that order to the Board, provided the notice of appeal is filed within 15 days of service of the violation order. This provision can be relevant to tenants because compliance with a violation order is generally not required while an appeal is pending, except where conditions are found to be a nuisance, dangerous, or unsafe. Those seeking to understand their options under this section may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Island Park's local ordinances.
