104.1 General.

The commissioner shall have the authority to render interpretations of this code, adopt rules, and establish policies and procedures in order to clarify and implement its provisions. Such interpretations, policies, procedures, and rules shall be in compliance with the intent and purpose of this code. See the

and

Chapter 1 of Title 28

104.2 Remedies for non-functioning storm water disposal systems.

If the commissioner determines that a system of storm water disposal which has been previously approved under the provisions of this code or of previous codes is no longer providing adequate drainage of storm water from a lot or development, the commissioner shall order repair of such system as required by section 28-301.1 of the Administrative Code; or if, in the judgment of the commissioner, repair of such system is not sufficient to ensure adequate drainage of storm water from such lot or development, the commissioner shall order that one of the methods of storm water disposal set forth in Chapter 11 shall be used to provide such drainage. The commissioner may apply to the Board of Standards and Appeals for modification of the certificate of occupancy of any building constructed on such lot or development to require the use of such method.
