Sec. 65. Stay of proceedings.

An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action
appealed from unless the building official certifies to the board
of zoning appeals after the notice of appeal shall have been
filed with the secretary 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 of zoning appeals or by a court of record
on application or notice to the building official and on due
cause shown. (2-17-58, § 33-65.)
