An appeal to the Board from a decision of an administrative official stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board, after the notice of appeal is filed with him or her, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order, which may be granted by the Board or by a court of competent jurisdiction upon application, upon notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken, and upon due cause being shown.
