An appeal does not automatically operate as a stay of a failure to renew, revocation or suspension order of the Director of Finance. If an appellant desires a stay of such order pending the outcome of the hearing he must first apply in writing to the chairman of the Board of Appeals setting forth his reasons for the stay. The chairman may request the Director of Finance to render, in writing, its views regarding the stay request. Within five days after the receipt by the chairman of the request for a stay, the chairman shall render his decision on the request. If the chairman determines that undue hardship to the appellant will result by not issuing a stay and no apparent harm will be caused to the citizens of the City by issuing a stay, a stay order, not to exceed forty-five days and pending the outcome of the hearing, will be granted.
