The Building Commissioner is authorized and directed to administer and enforce all of the provisions of this subchapter. Whenever, in the building regulations, 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's Plan Commission, 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 officer discretionary powers as to what the regulations, codes or standards shall be, or power to require conditions not prescribed by this subchapter or ordinances or to enforce the provisions of this code or ordinances in an arbitrary or discriminatory manner. Any variances from adopted building rules are subject to approval under I.C. 22-13-2-7(b). All persons shall have the right to appeal any order of the Building Commissioner first through the Building Commission of the city and then to the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission of the state in accordance with the provisions of I.C. 22-13-2-7 and I.C. 4-21.5-3-7.
