Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to a final decision and order under D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3405.09 generally track the date they receive the Mayor's notification carefully, since the window to file a petition for review in the D.C. Court of Appeals is only 15 days. Compliant operators typically maintain organized records of all official correspondence related to proceedings under this chapter so that deadlines are not missed. Consulting with legal counsel familiar with D.C. administrative law is a common step for those considering this appellate path.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants who receive an unfavorable final decision in a proceeding under D.C. Code § 42-3401.01 et seq. § 42-3405.09 have the right to seek judicial review by filing a petition with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals within 15 days of the Mayor's notification. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid providers can help explain what this review process involves and what options may be available. Because the filing window is short, those interested in this avenue generally seek guidance promptly after receiving the final decision and order.
