Wherever in the building regulations of the town or the town’s Unsafe Building Law it is provided that anything must be done to the approval of or subject to the direction of the Building Safety Commissioner or any other officer of the town, this shall be construed to give the officer only the discretion of determining whether the rules and standards established by ordinance have been complied with and no provisions shall be construed as giving any office discretionary powers as to what the regulations or standards shall be, power to require conditions not prescribed by ordinance or to enforce ordinance provisions in an arbitrary or discretionary manner.
(1982 Code, § 7-25)
