Latest version.
  • Whenever an official shall reject or refuse to approve the mode or manner or construction proposed to be followed or materials to be used in the erection or alteration of a building or structure, or when it is claimed that the true provisions of any code 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 any code or any of the regulations thereunder have been misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, the owner of such building or structure, or his duly authorized agent, may appeal from the decision of the official to the code enforcement board of adjustments and appeals. Notice or appeal shall be in writing and filed within thirty (30) days after the decision is rendered by the official. In case of a building or structure which, in the opinion of the official, is unsafe or dangerous the official may, in his order, limit the time for such appeal to a shorter period, but in no event shall the time for appeal be less than ten (10) days. Appeals hereunder shall be on forms provided by the department head of the inspection department.
