Administrative Code § 19-152 specifically empowers "the commissioner" to order a property owner to repair a defective sidewalk flag, making this role the formal legal source of authority behind every Notice of Sidewalk Violation, even though the actual notice is generated and mailed through DOT's standard inspection process. The term appears throughout city code as a reference to whichever individual currently leads the relevant agency, rather than naming a specific person. Because commissioners change with mayoral administrations, the code deliberately refers to the office rather than an individual.
