Overview
The Office of the Common Interest Community Ombudsman reviews Notices of Final Adverse Decision resulting from the submission of a Complaint through an Association’s Complaint Procedure. The sole purpose of this review is to determine if the Final Adverse Decision received by the Complainant, from the Association, may be in conflict with laws or regulations governing common interest communities or interpretations thereof by the board.
The DPOR Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Section offers conciliations for all fair housing cases, as well as mediations in some regulatory complaints against licensees. DPOR ADR Services are not offered in private disputes.
