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 building inspector. Such appeal shall be taken within a reasonable time, as shall be prescribed by the board by general rules, by filing with the building inspector and with the board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The building inspector shall forthwith transmit to the board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from is taken.
B. An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the building inspector certifies to the board after the notice of appeal shall have been filed with him, that, by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would in his 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 building inspector and on due cause shown.
C. The board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give due notice thereof to the parties in interest and decide the same within a reasonable time.
D. Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney.
E. The concurring vote of two-thirds of all the members of the city commission shall be required to revise any order, requirement, decision or determination of the building inspector or to decide a case in favor of an applicant.
F. A fee of fifteen dollars shall be paid to the building inspector at the time the notice of appeal is filed, which the building inspector shall forthwith pay over to the city clerk to the credit of the general revenue fund of the city. (Prior code § 11-3-8 (c))
