b. If the commissioner determines that a local enforcing agency which had previously elected to inspect high-rise structures and life hazard uses has failed to properly enforce this act, he shall notify the local enforcing agency of his determination and thereafter all inspection and enforcement with respect to high-rise structures and life hazard uses within the jurisdiction of the local enforcing agency shall be done by the department and all fees and penalties received as a result of the inspection and enforcement shall be paid to the department.
