§ 56-348. Judicial review of decisions of property maintenance appeals board.

(a)

For any decision of the property maintenance appeals board upon an order or action taken pursuant to article II, III or IV of this chapter, section 70-644 or pursuant to chapter 48, the method of judicial review shall be by a duly verified petition for writ of certiorari presented to the circuit court of the county in which the petitioner resides, or of the county where the property affected by such decision is located or, in any case, in the circuit court of Jackson County, Missouri. Such petition shall be filed with the court within 30 days after the filing of the board's decision in the office of the director. Such petition shall set forth with particularity the grounds for such review. Any person jointly or severally aggrieved by any decision of the property maintenance appeals board shall be entitled to petition for such review. Upon presentation of the petition, the court may allow a writ of certiorari directed to the board to review such decision of the board and prescribe therein the time within which a return must be made and served upon the relator's attorney, which shall be not less than ten days and may be extended by the court. The allowance of the writ shall not stay the effect of the decision appealed from; but the court may, upon timely application and due notice to the board, for due cause shown, grant a restraining order. The court may reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, the decision brought up for review.

(b)

For any decision of the property maintenance appeals board upon an order or action taken pursuant to article V of this chapter, pertaining to dangerous buildings or structures, the method of judicial review shall be as provided by RSMo ch. 536.
