Alaska Stat. § 18.55. § 18.55.880
Injunction to prevent corporation from proceeding
Operative Text
A person affected by an order issued by the corporation may, within 60 days from the date the order is posted and served, petition the superior court for an injunction restraining the corporation from carrying out the provisions of the order, and the court may, upon the petition, issue a temporary injunction restraining the corporation from proceeding until it disposes of the matter. The court shall hear the petition within 20 days from the date it is filed, or as soon after filing as possible. A petition for an injunction under this section shall be given preference over other matters on the court calendar. The court shall hear and determine the issues raised and shall enter a final order or decree in the proceeding. The findings of fact by the corporation, if supported by evidence, are conclusive. Costs shall be awarded in the discretion of the court.
Alaska Statute AS 18.55 § 18.55.880 establishes a judicial review mechanism for orders issued by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. Any person affected by such an order has 60 days from the date it is posted and served to petition the superior court for an injunction that would halt the corporation from acting on that order. The court is required to prioritize these petitions on its calendar and must hold a hearing within 20 days of filing. Importantly, the corporation's factual findings carry significant weight — if supported by evidence, they are treated as conclusive by the court.

Under AS 18.55 § 18.55.880, property owners or managers who receive an order from the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation should be aware that the order carries a 60-day window during which an affected party may seek a court injunction. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough documentation of their practices so that the corporation's factual record, which courts treat as conclusive when evidence-supported, accurately reflects their operations. Operators who receive such orders typically consult legal counsel promptly to evaluate whether the 60-day petition window is relevant to their circumstances.

AS 18.55 § 18.55.880 gives tenants and other affected persons a defined right to challenge a corporation order in Alaska's superior court within 60 days of the order being posted and served. The court is required to hear such petitions on a priority basis and within 20 days of filing, offering a relatively expedited review process. Tenants who believe they are affected by a corporation order may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand whether petitioning under this section is an available path.
