§ 29-08-030. Appeals.

Appeals to the board may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, department, board, or bureau of the city affected by any decision of the building inspector. Such appeal shall be taken within a reasonable time, as shall be prescribed by the board by general rules, 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 the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from is taken.

An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the building inspector certifies to the board after the 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 imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the board, or by a court record on application or notice to the building inspector, and on due cause shown.
