In all districts, as indicated, no permitted or required accessory off-street loading berth, and no entrance or exit thereto, shall be located less than 50 feet from the intersection of any two street lines. However, a location closer to such intersection may be permitted if the Commissioner of Buildings certifies that such a location is not hazardous to traffic safety and not likely to create traffic congestion.

The requirements for accessory off-street loading berths set forth in Section 25-72 (Required Accessory Off-street Loading Berths) shall not apply to any building as to which the Commissioner of Buildings certifies that there is no way to arrange the required berths to conform to the provisions of this Section.

The Commissioner of Buildings may refer such matters requiring certification to the Department of Transportation for report and may base his determination on such report.
