Written By Courtney Mamuscia

The City and County of Denver is seeking qualified individuals to apply for a seat on the Denver Building Code Board of Appeals. The Board of Appeals plays a crucial checks-and-balances role in the application of adopted and amended building codes.

The Board consists of six members and three alternates, all appointed by the mayor.

  1. One professional engineer registered in the State of Colorado

  2. One architect licensed in the State of Colorado

  3. One person holding a City Building Contractor Class A, B, or C license

  4. One preservationist with expertise in the preservation of historic buildings and structures

  5. Two citizen members not associated with the building industry

The alternates include a professional engineer, an architect, and a citizen not associated with the building industry. Alternates are welcome to participate fully in meetings and voting even if they are not filling a temporary vacancy.

As a board member, you will contribute to the following key responsibilities:

  • Considering appeals where errors are alleged in orders or decisions made by the building official on the application of the technical provisions of the codes

  • Deciding on appeals related to alternate methods and materials of construction

  • Temporarily postponing the enforcement of orders except in cases of imminent peril to life or property

  • Addressing appeals regarding unsafe conditions that require detailed engineering analysis or recommendations

Regular and special meetings will be scheduled as needed, and public notice will be given for all meetings. Board members are compensated $250 each per meeting. The Board of Appeals operates with transparency, allowing interested parties, including city agency representatives, to participate in public meetings. Board members are appointed for a three-year term and may serve up to three terms consecutively.

If you possess the expertise and commitment to ensuring the safety and integrity of Denver’s built environment, you are an ideal candidate for this important position. Apply today and please include three references and a cover letter.
