Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 158 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 158-6
Effect on existing remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish or impair existing remedies of the Town of Evans relating to the removal or demolition of any buildings which are deemed to be dangerous, unsafe or unsanitary or otherwise subject to lawful removal or demolition pursuant to law.
Section 158-6 of Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 158 makes clear that the rules in this chapter do not eliminate or weaken any pre-existing legal tools the Town of Evans already had to address buildings considered dangerous, unsafe, or unsanitary. In other words, the Town retains its full authority to pursue removal or demolition of such structures under other applicable laws, independent of anything this chapter says or does not say. This provision functions as a savings clause, preserving the broader legal landscape around substandard buildings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 158-6 of Evans Town Code Chapter 158, property owners should understand that compliance with this chapter alone does not shield a building from separate enforcement actions the Town may pursue under other laws. If a structure is found to be dangerous, unsafe, or unsanitary, the Town retains independent authority to seek its removal or demolition through remedies that existed before this chapter was enacted. Operators managing properties in Evans generally keep buildings in sound structural and sanitary condition to avoid exposure under both this chapter and those parallel legal frameworks.

Section 158-6 of Evans, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 158 confirms that tenants living in buildings that may be dangerous, unsafe, or unsanitary are protected not only by this chapter but also by whatever additional remedies the Town of Evans holds under other laws. This means that even if a landlord argues a particular provision of this chapter does not apply, the Town's broader authority to act against substandard housing remains intact. Tenants who believe their building poses health or safety concerns may consider contacting the Town of Evans directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to learn about all available avenues for addressing such conditions.
