Except as otherwise provided by law, any applicant for a license or permit which has been denied or which has been suspended or revoked by the Division of Building and Zoning Inspection shall have the right to appeal such denial, suspension or revocation. The appeal shall be filed with the Division within seven business days of the denial, suspension or revocation or notice thereof, and shall be accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) for processing the appeal. The Division shall transmit the file relating to the matter to the Board of Appeals and shall be represented at the hearing of the appeal by a member of the Division as the Commissioner may direct, or as may be otherwise provided by law. The Division shall serve written notice, personally or by registered or certified mail, upon the applicant of the time, place and date of the hearing on the appeal and the same shall be set for the next regular meeting of the Board of Appeals providing that such date permits two days' notice thereof to the appellant, and providing further that the appellant may waive written notice in order to expedite hearing of the appeal. The appellant may appear and be heard in person, or by counsel. Failure to appear at the hearing shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of the appeal, unless prior thereto, the appellant has, through the Division requested a continuance. Any order, requirement, determination or decision of the Division may be appealed in like manner.
