Upon submission of a completed application for a conversion permit, a hearing will be scheduled for an upcoming regularly scheduled review board meeting. For tenanted or formerly tenanted units, the review board shall be responsible for giving written notice at least two weeks in advance to the tenant(s) and former tenant(s) stating the date, time, and place of any hearing regarding the housing accommodation in which such tenants reside or formerly resided. For non-tenanted units, the review board's written notice date shall comply with Massachusetts open meeting law requirements. At such hearing the owner shall appear, and tenants may appear and testify, if so desired. The review board, after reviewing relevant documents and any testimony will render a determination regarding whether the actions taken by the owner thus far comply with this ordinance. In addition, the review board shall review with any tenants present their rights afforded by this ordinance. If the review board agrees that the owner has complied with its obligations under this ordinance a permit shall be issued.
