(A) Any person aggrieved by the action or inaction, as the case may be, of the code enforcement office (other than an appeal pursuant to
§
70.106 of this Code) may take an appeal of the action or inaction to the board of adjustment of the city. The appeal shall be taken within ten (10) days after the decision or order, or after notification of refusal to take action, of the code enforcement office. The aggrieved party shall file a notice of appeal specifying the grounds of his appeal and complaint in writing, and the code enforcement office shall forthwith transmit to the board of adjustment all papers constituting the record on which the action appealed from was taken.
(B) The board of adjustment shall consider the appeal at its next regularly scheduled hearing, provided that the notice of the appeal is filed at least five (5) working days before the regularly scheduled meeting. The board of adjustment may affirm, modify, or overturn the decision appealed from, or may remand it to the proper office for additional factual findings. The decision of the board of adjustment shall be final, subject, however, to such remedy as any aggrieved person may have in law and equity. The board of adjustment's decision shall be in writing and shall be filed in the code enforcement office, as the case may be, and a certified copy shall be given to the appellant.
