Whenever the building official shall reject or refuse to approve the mode or manner of construction proposed to be followed or materials to be used, when it is claimed that the provisions of this chapter do not apply or that an equally good or more desirable form of construction can be employed in any specific case, or when it is claimed that the true intent and meaning of this chapter or any of the regulations thereunder were misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, the owner of the building or structure, or the owner's duly authorized agent, may appeal the decision to the building board of appeals. Notice of appeal shall be in writing and filed within 30 days after the decision is rendered. If an appeal involves the issuance of civil fine pursuant to § 150.99, the building board of appeals may not reduce or waive the fine if the board affirms the building official's determination that the owner or authorized representative violated this chapter.
