Whenever the fire marshal shall refuse to grant a permit applied for, or when it is claimed that the provisions of the code do not apply or that the true intent and meaning of the code have been misconstrued or wrongly interpreted, the applicant may appeal from the decision of the chief of the fire department to the city council. Such appeal shall be made in writing not less than 10 days from the service of the order or denial of the permit; after a decision from the corporation counsel, the fire chief shall affirm, modify or revoke the decision of the fire marshal; and the appealing person shall, within the time limit then set by the fire chief, comply with the order as affirmed or modified; provided, that if the decision of the fire marshal is revoked, then the permit shall be forthwith granted or the order appealed from shall be deemed vacated. [Ord. 908 § 8, 2016.]
