Property owners and managers subject to a Commission order under D.C. Code § 2-1401.01 et seq. § 2-1403.14 should be aware that any adverse Commission decision may be challenged through the District of Columbia Court of Appeals by filing a written petition for judicial review. Operators who believe a Commission ruling has legally wronged them or unfairly affected their interests generally document the record of the Commission proceeding carefully, as that record typically forms the basis for appellate review under § 2-510. Familiarity with the procedural requirements for filing such a petition, including applicable deadlines, is an important part of managing compliance obligations under this chapter.
