Section 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.
