(A) If a dispute arises, applicants for permits should be made aware of their recourse and the necessary steps to have their appeal or request for a variance heard by the Board of Appeals.
(B) If an enforcing official refuses to grant an application for a building or similar permit, an interested person or the person’s authorized agent may appeal in writing to the Board of Appeals.
(C) The Board of Appeals shall hear the appeal and render and file its decision with a statement of reasons for the decision with the enforcing official from whom the appeal was taken not more than 30 days after submission of the appeal. Failure by the Board of Appeals to hear an appeal and file a decision within the time limit is a denial of the appeal for purposes of authorizing the institution of an appeal to the state’s Construction Code Commission. A copy of the decision and statement of the reasons for the decision shall be delivered or mailed, before filing, to the party taking the appeal.
(D) The Construction Board of Appeals may establish further rules and procedures beyond those contained in this subchapter.
