An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Building Official from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board of Adjustment after the notice of appeal has been filed with him, 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 restraining order which may be granted by the Board of Adjustment or by the district court on application and notice and on due cause shown.
