(1) Appeals of a decision by the Building Official to the Commission may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, department, board, or bureau of the city. Such appeal shall be taken within 30 days of the date of the action which is appealed, by filing notice of the appeal with the Building Official and with the Commission notice of appeal. Such notice of appeal shall specify the grounds for the appeal.
(2) An appeal stays all legal proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Building Official certifies to the Commission, after notice of the appeal has been filed with him or her, that by reason of facts states in the certificate a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case, proceedings may not be stayed except by a restraining order which may be granted by the Commission or by a court of record on application, upon notice to the Building Official, and on due cause shown.
(3) The Commission shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of an appeal or other matter referred to it, and give public notice of the hearing, as well as due notice to the parties in interest, and decide the appeal or other matter within a reasonable time. At the hearing, any party may appear in person, by agent, or by attorney.
(B) Appeal of a decision of the Commission. Any person may appeal a decision of the Commission to the circuit court pursuant to the S.C. Code §§ 6-29-900 et seq. (1976, as amended).
