The text
The filing of an appeal by the owner shall stay all actions required by the building inspector's interpretation, order, requirement, direction, or failure to act, unless the building inspector is charged with the administration or enforcement of this Code or any of its rules or regulations presents evidence, and the board of standards and appeals finds that upon the evidence presented, a stay would involve imminent peril to the public health, safety and welfare. Before waiving the stay proceedings, the board shall hold a hearing and give the appellant and state, or local agency claiming that a stay would involve imminent peril to public health, safety, and welfare, notice in writing of the hearing not less than 24 hours before the hearing.
