1379.08 POWERS OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS.

   The Zoning Board of Appeals shall hear appeals on decisions made by the Building Commissioner or by any administrative officer, in matters relating to this Code, for relief from any order, requirement, decision or determination, including the refusal, granting or revocation of permits, and may thence decide appeals by either reversing, affirming, wholly or in part, or modifying, such order, requirement, decision or determination. The Board shall also have the power to grant relief from the strict enforcement of this Housing Code if it finds that the decision of the Commissioner would cause undue economic hardship upon the property owner or in the event the property owner is capable of showing the Board clear and convincing evidence that the property owner has insufficient funds to perform the work required by the Housing Code. In any such case, the Board upon the granting of such relief, shall set a specific date in the future, not more than six months from the date of its decision to review the reason for the granting of such relief and may at that time order the improvement completed or allow an additional extension of time.
