(a) The Architectural Board of Review shall receive and promptly review and pass upon all drawings, plans and complaints filed in connection with applications for building permits in accordance with public rulings and regulations adopted by the Board.
Failure by the Board to act on any set of plans or specifications within forty-five days from the date of the Board’s initial consideration of an application may be considered an approval of such plans and specifications by the Board. No building permit shall be issued unless plans therefor have been approved in writing by the Architectural Board of Review or unless no action by the Board in regard to such plans has been taken within forty-five days of the date of the Board’s initial consideration of an application.
(b) An applicant may request an unofficial review. The unofficial review is informal and does not entitle the applicant to preliminary or final approval, or to a building permit.
