(a) The Commissioner is hereby authorized to conduct, or cause to be conducted, at the expense of any person owning, operating or in charge of any source or control equipment, any test or tests of any new or existing source or control equipment which in his or her judgment may result in emissions in excess of the limitations contained in this Code or when the emissions from any such source or control equipment may exceed the limits of emissions provided for herein. All tests shall be conducted in a manner approved by the Commissioner and a complete detailed test report of such test or tests shall be submitted to him or her. When tests are taken by the owner or independent testers employed by the owner, the Commissioner shall require that the tests be conducted by reputable, qualified personnel and shall stipulate that a qualified representative or representatives of the Division of Air Pollution Control be present during the conduct of such tests. The Commissioner may stipulate a reasonable time limit for the completion of such test and submission of test reports.
(b) Nothing in this section concerning tests conducted by and paid for by any person or his or her authorized agent shall be deemed to abridge the rights of the Commissioner or his or her representatives to conduct separate or additional tests of any source or control equipment on behalf of the City, whether or not such tests relate to emissions controlled by specific limitations under this Code.
