If an enforcing agency of the city, as the term "enforcing agency" is used and defined in section 2 of Public Act No. 230 of 1972, refuses to grant an application for a building permit or if the enforcing agency makes any other decision pursuant to or related to such act or the single state construction code, an interested person or the person's authorized agent may appeal in writing to the Construction Board of Appeals. The Construction Board of Appeals shall hear the appeal and render and file its decision with a statement of reasons for the decision with the enforcing agency from which the appeal was taken not more than 30 days after submission of the appeal. Failure by the Construction Board of Appeals to hear an appeal and file a decision within the time limit specified in this section shall be considered a denial of the appeal for purposes of authorizing the institution of an appeal to the State Construction Code Commission as provided under Public Act No. 230 of 1972. A copy of the decision of the Construction Board of Appeals and a copy of the statement of the reasons for the decision shall be delivered or mailed, before filing, to the party taking the appeal.
