An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Zoning Enforcement Officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board of Zoning Appeals after the notice of appeal is filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the application, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals or by a court of record on application, on notice to the Zoning Enforcement Office from whom the appeal is taken on due cause shown.
