16.56.030   Authorization for exceptions and appeals.
   The chief building official may grant certain exceptions to the regulations if he determines that, in existing buildings, (a) compliance would create an unreasonable hardship and that equivalent facilitation is provided, or (b) legal and physical constraints will not allow compliance or equivalent facilitation without creating an unreasonable hardship. An appeal may be taken from a determination of the chief building official's granting or not granting of an exception to the regulations only where the regulations authorize an appeal by referring to Section 2-105(b) 11D of the regulations wherein an appeal process is required.
