Under Chicago, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 7-4 § 7-4-130, the city commissioner responsible for administering Chapter 7-4 has the authority to create and issue reasonable rules and regulations that put the chapter's requirements into practice. This provision is a standard delegation of rulemaking power, meaning the commissioner can fill in operational details that the ordinance itself does not spell out. Those rules, once promulgated, carry the same practical weight as the underlying ordinance for purposes of compliance.
