(a) Time and Notice. An appeal from any decision of the Building Commissioner may be taken within ten (10) days from the date of the decision from which the appeal is taken by filing an application with the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals specifying the grounds therefor. The Commissioner shall forthwith transmit to the Board papers upon which the action appealed was taken.
(b) Hearing. The Board shall hear and decide appeals de novo and shall review on appeal any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Building Official in the enforcement or application of the Zoning or Building Codes. Within its power, the Board may reverse or affirm wholly or in part, or modify, any such order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from and shall make such order, requirement, decision or determination as in its opinion ought to be made under the circumstances and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whose decision the appeal is taken.
(c) Evidence and Inspection. In passing upon appeals, the Board may require submission of evidence or proof to substantiate claims, and may require such additional data and test which, in the opinion of the Board, are needed for adequate consideration of the appeal. Any member of the Board or any person authorized by the Board may at any time enter, inspect and examine any plans, building or structure for the purpose of carrying out the duties of the Board.
