§ 472. Enforcement. The commissioner of labor shall enforce the
provisions of this article and rules adopted thereunder; provided,
however, that this section shall not apply to:

(a) any city exempted from this article by section four hundred
seventy-four-a hereof; or

(b) any city, town, or village having a department, board or officer
charged with the enforcement of building laws or ordinances, which files
with the commissioner of labor a duly certified copy of a resolution
adopted by its local legislative body assuming full responsibility for
enforcing the provisions of this article and the rules adopted
thereunder. Upon receipt of a certification of receipt of such
resolution by the commissioner, which shall be issued no later than
sixty days from the date of filing of such resolution, such city, town,
or village shall have all the powers of the commissioner of labor in
enforcing the provisions of this article and the rules adopted
thereunder. The provisions of this section, however, shall apply to any
such city, town, or village sixty days after the filing with the
commissioner of labor of a duly certified copy of a resolution adopted
by its local legislative body terminating its enforcement
responsibilities.
