Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1905
Slum property; appeal
Operative Text
A. A governmental agency that may designate a residential rental property as a slum property shall establish procedures by which the owner of the property may file an administrative appeal contesting the designation of the property. B. The decision at the hearing on the administrative appeal is the final administrative decision. C. A party may appeal the administrative decision pursuant to title 12, chapter 7, article 6.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1901 et seq. § 33-1905, when a government agency designates a residential rental property as a "slum property," the property owner has a right to challenge that designation through an administrative appeal process that the agency must establish. The outcome of that administrative hearing is treated as the final administrative decision. Either party may then seek further review of that decision through Arizona's judicial review procedures under Title 12, Chapter 7, Article 6.
Plain English — not legal advice.
A.R.S. § 33-1901 et seq. § 33-1905 requires the designating government agency to have a formal appeal process in place, and property owners who receive a slum property designation generally pursue that process to contest the label. Operators who receive such a designation typically gather documentation of property conditions, code compliance efforts, and any remediation steps taken before or during the appeal. If the administrative hearing does not resolve the matter favorably, the statute preserves the right to seek judicial review under Title 12, Chapter 7, Article 6.

A.R.S. § 33-1901 et seq. § 33-1905 establishes that a slum property designation triggers a formal administrative appeal process, which can affect the status and oversight of a rental property where tenants live. Tenants in a designated property may want to monitor the outcome of any appeal, since the designation and its resolution can influence local agency involvement and property conditions. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Arizona housing law can help residents understand how a slum property designation and the appeal process under this provision may relate to their living situation.
