Appellate jurisdiction is the power to hear and decide appeals from decisions of those officials charged with the administration and enforcement of the zoning ordinance or local law. This is the primary function and purpose of a zoning board of appeals in zoning administration, and encompasses the power (if an appeal is properly taken to the board) to interpret the zoning ordinance or local law and to grant variances.
