(a) The board of building appeals, when so appealed to and after a public hearing, may recommend to the president and board of trustees a modification or a reversal of a decision of the building commissioner with a reference to the application of this code and the ordinances of the village relating to buildings to any particular case, when in its opinion, the enforcement of the Building Commission's decision would be contrary to the provisions of the Building Code or contrary to the spirit and purpose of the Building Code. In every instance, final action with reference to the recommendation of the Board of Building Appeals shall be by the Board of Trustees.
(b) When in the opinion of the Board of Building Appeals the provisions of the Building Code appear to be contrary to the spirit and purpose of the Building Code, or to the public interest, or when it appears that the enforcement of any particular provision of the Code shall result in manifest injustice as a whole, the Board of Building Appeals shall recommend to the Board of Trustees of the Village such changes or amendments of the Building Code as will insure the spirit and purpose of the Building Code and the public interest.
(c) The Board of Building Appeals shall in every case reach a decision with reference to its recommendation without unreasonable or unnecessary delay. Every decision of the Board of Building Appeals shall be reduced to writing and shall indicate the vote upon the recommendation. Every recommendation shall be promptly filed in the office of the Building Commissioner, and a copy thereof shall be sent by mail or otherwise to the person appealing.
(d) All recommendations of the Board of Building Appeals shall be considered by the Board of Trustees of the Village within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the same by the Building Commissioner, and the Board of Trustees shall, within that period, take final action with reference to the recommendations of the Board of Building Appeals. The action of the Board of Trustees shall be communicated to the Building Commissioner who shall take action immediately thereon in accordance with the decision of the Board of Trustees.
