Wherever in the building regulations it is provided that anything must be done subject to the approval or direction of the Building Inspector or any other officer of the city, it shall be construed to give such officer only the discretion of determining whether the rules and standards established by the subchapter have been complied with. No such provision shall be construed as giving any officer discretionary powers as to what such regulations or standards shall be, the power to require conditions not prescribed by the code or the authority to enforce code provisions in an arbitrary or discriminatory manner.
