Board of Examiners, Appeals & Condemnation

The Board of Examiners, Appeals and Condemnation (BEAC) is entrusted to determine the suitability of alternate methods, materials and types of construction, review the determinations relative to the correction of substandard conditions in buildings, abate nuisances and hear written appeals regarding enforcement of State regulations pertaining to access to public accommodations by persons with disabilities.

The Board also reviews any action taken by the Building Official in the enforcement or interpretation of the Long Beach Municipal Code, City ordinances or laws and State statutes. In addition, the Board presides over Administrative Citation Appeal Hearings as neutral hearing officers weighing evidence to determine whether an appeal should be granted or denied.
