The Board meets on an as-needed basis when an Application for Appeal is submitted. 

The Building and Fire Codes Appeals Board (BFCAB) is made up of five members - serving three year terms and is mandated by the State of Pennsylvania under Act 45, Pa. UCC. The board of appeals provides a legal mechanism by which a property owner can appeal a Building Code Official’s decision, make a request for a variance from the building codes, or requests an extensions of time in completing a project.
