A. Right to Administrative Review. Any person aggrieved by a determination made or action taken by the building official pursuant to this chapter may apply to the director for administrative review of such determination or action.
B. Applications for Administrative Review. Applications for administrative review of a determination made or action taken by the building official shall be made in writing and shall be filed in the office of the director no later than 15 days following the date such determination or action was made or taken, or where a written report is required to be served, the date such report is served; provided that the director may extend the time for filing an application for good cause shown. In addition to setting forth a request for administrative review of a determination made or action taken by the building official, such application shall contain a brief statement of the reasons why the applicant believes that such determination or action does not comply with the provisions of this chapter and the relief requested by the applicant from such determination or action.
C. Decision on an Application for Administrative Review. Upon the filing of an application for administrative review of a determination made or action taken by the building official, the director shall consider the application and render a decision either affirming the determination or action of the building official, or reversing or modifying such determination or action. Prior to rendering a decision, the director may, with sole discretion, convene an informal hearing for the purpose of reviewing evidence or hearing arguments bearing on such decision, provided notice of the date, time, and place of such hearing is served a reasonable time prior to such hearing on the applicant and on any other person who would be aggrieved by a decision reversing or modifying the determination or action of the building official and who has filed with the director a written request for notice of such decision. After rendering a decision, the director shall promptly inform the building official of the decision and cause a notice of the decision to be served on the applicant and any other person who would be aggrieved by a decision reversing or modifying the determination or action of the building official and who has filed with the director a written request for notice of such decision.
