(A) An appeal may be taken to the Board by any person, firm or corporation, or by any officer, department, board or bureau affected by a decision of the Building Inspector relative to this chapter. Such appeal shall be taken within such time as shall be prescribed, by the Board by general rule, 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 of the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. The notice of appeal shall be accompanied by a receipt from the Village Treasurer showing the payment of an appeal fee of $35, which is hereby established as the required fee for each appeal taken under the provisions of this section.
(B) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Building Inspector certifies to the Board after the notice of appeal has 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 which case the 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 and notice to the Building Inspector, and on due cause shown.
(C) The Board shall select a reasonable time and place for the hearing of the appeal and give due notice thereof to the parties and shall render a decision on the appeal without unreasonable delay. Any person may appear and testify at the hearing, either in person or by duly authorized agent or attorney.
