When the elevator inspector finds any elevator or escalator or other equipment in an unsafe condition, he shall immediately report the same to the Building Commissioner, together with a statement of all facts relating to the condition of the equipment. It shall be the duty of the Building Commissioner, upon receiving any report, to order the operation of the equipment to be stopped and to remain inoperative until it has been placed in a safe condition and in good operating condition. It shall be unlawful for any agent, owner, lessee, or occupant of any building wherein any equipment is located, and of each person in charge or control of that equipment, to permit or allow the same to be used after receipt of a notice from the Building Commissioner, which notice shall be in writing, that the equipment is in an unsafe condition, and it will remain so unlawful until it has been restored to a safe and proper operating condition.
