What happens to proceedings before the Building Code Commission if an appeal is made?

When an appeal is made concerning a decision of the Building Code Commission, the proceedings before the Commission are effectively terminated. This means that the process being followed or any ongoing matters will cease to proceed in the same manner. Appeals typically indicate that there is a challenge to the previous decision, which can suspend the current proceedings and requires those issues to be resolved through the appeal process.

In the context of building code compliance and related issues, terminating the original proceedings allows the appeal to be handled distinctly, as the outcome may influence the future of the case. Therefore, the appeal process is seen as a primary route to address disputes, and any active proceedings become moot until the appeal is resolved. This assures that there is no overlap or conflict during the consideration of the appeal, allowing for a clear and focused review of the issues raised.
