(A) Appeals to the Board may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, department, board or bureau of the city, affected by any decision of the administrative officer. Such appeal shall be taken within a reasonable time, as provided by the rules of the Board, by filing with the officer from whom the appeal is taken and with the Board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The administrative officer shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(B) (1) The Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give public notice thereof and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney.
(2) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the administrative officer certifies to the Board, after the notice of appeal shall have been filed with him or her, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board or by a court of record on application or notice to the administrative officer and on due cause shown.
