Any property Owner shall have the right to appeal to the Building Code Board of Appeals from a decision of the Code Official where it is alleged that the Code Official has made erroneous factual findings or has misinterpreted the application of this article to such facts, provided, however, that and challenge to the Code Official's findings in regard to the State Building Code will be governed by the limited scope of appeal as set forth therein. Such appeal shall be in writing on forms provided stating the reasons therefore and shall be submitted to the Code Official within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice the action taken from which the appeal is taken and shall be accompanied with the appropriate appeal fee as established by the City Council for the taking of appeals to said Board. Upon receipt of the written appeal along with the appeal fee, the Code Official shall cause the appeal to be scheduled for hearing before the Building Code Board of Appeals. Except where conditions warrant immediate vacating of the dwelling, such appeal shall stay all action on the part of the Code Official in furtherance of the notice of violation from which the appeal was taken. Any appeal from a decision of the Building Code Board of Appeals shall be by writ of certiorari to the Circuit Court of Jefferson County and shall not automatically stay the enforcement of such decision.
