Appeals to the board may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, department
or bureau of the city affected by any decision of the building inspector. Such appeal
shall be made within thirty days from the date of denial of a building permit by the
building inspector by filing with the building inspector and with the board a notice
of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The building inspector shall forthwith transmit
to the board all papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from
is taken. An appeal stays all proceedings and furtherance of the action appealed from,
unless the building inspector certifies to the board, after notice of appeal shall
have been filed with him, that, by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay
would, in his opinion, cause eminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings
shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by the
board or by a court of record on application or notice to the building inspector of
good cause shown. Each appeal for a variance from the provisions of the zoning ordinance
shall be accompanied by a fee of fifty dollars. All appeals shall be filed on forms
prepared for that purpose and such appeal form shall be obtainable from the office
of the building inspector.
