(a) If a building or occupancy permit is refused by the Building Commissioner, an appeal, in writing, may be made to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Such appeal may be made to the Board by any elected Village official, or by any person aggrieved or affected by any decision. Such appeal shall be filed within fourteen (14) days after such decision by the Building Commissioner is rendered and shall be filed with the Building Commissioner. Upon request of such appeal, the Building Commissioner shall immediately transmit to the Board such appeal, together with the permit application, plans, maps and other data in his or her possession which may be useful to the Board in arriving at the proper decision.
(b) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Building Commissioner from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board of Zoning Appeals after the notice of appeal is filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the application, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals or by a court of record on application, on notice to the Building Commissioner from whom the appeal is taken on due cause shown.
