The Municipalities Act provides that an owner or occupier of a premises, building or structure who has been given a Notice to Comply and who is not satisfied with the terms or conditions set out therein may appeal to the Saint John Substandard Properties Appeal Committee by filing a Notice of Appeal by registered mail to the clerk of the municipality within fourteen (14) days after having been given the Notice to Comply. The Saint John Minimum Property Standards By-law also provides a similar right of appeal from a Notice to Comply issued under said By-law.
