(A) The Building Commissioner, as chief administrative officer of the Building Department shall be authorized to administer and to proceed under the provisions of the law in ordering the repair or removal of any buildings found to be unsafe as specified therein or as specified hereafter.
(B) Wherever in the building regulations of the state or this Unsafe Building Code it is provided that anything must be done to the approval of or subject to the direction of the Building Commissioner or any other officer of the city, 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 such provisions shall be construed as giving any officer discretionary powers as to what such regulations or standard shall be, power to require conditions not prescribed by ordinance, or to enforce ordinance provisions in an arbitrary or discretionary manner.
