(a) The Commissioner is hereby authorized to conduct an inspection of all rental units and/or multiple dwelling units and appurtenant structures, except the interior of an owner occupied dwelling unit every three years according to a schedule established by him. Pursuant to such schedule, the Commissioner shall notify the owner of any dwelling unit to be inspected, or his agent, that arrangements must be made with the Building Department for an inspection appointment within thirty days of such notice. The owner or agent, upon consent, shall cause the entire structure to be accessible for inspection at the time arranged, which shall be during regular business hours.

(b) The Commissioner is hereby directed to conduct an inspection of the third floor of every two-family dwelling structure, which third floor is a nonconforming use, every three years according to a schedule established by him, where such third floor has been occupied by a roomer at any time during the year prior to the date of inspection.
(c) The Commissioner of Building shall promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary in the enforcement of this Code, which regulations shall be consistent therewith.
