North Syracuse, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 178 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 178-11
Junkyards
Operative Text
This chapter shall not apply to any junkyard as defined in the Village Code.
Section 178-11 of North Syracuse's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 178, carves out an explicit exemption for junkyards: any property or operation that qualifies as a 'junkyard' under the Village Code definition falls entirely outside the scope of this chapter's requirements. The chapter's rules, whatever they may otherwise cover, simply do not reach those defined junkyard operations. This is a scoping provision that limits the chapter's applicability rather than imposing new obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers operating a facility that meets the Village Code's definition of a junkyard should be aware that Chapter 178, Section 178-11 removes such operations from this chapter's coverage entirely. Operators generally confirm whether their property qualifies under the Village Code's junkyard definition before determining which local regulations apply to their use. Because the exemption hinges on that specific Village Code definition, understanding exactly how 'junkyard' is defined there is a key part of compliance analysis.

For tenants, Section 178-11 of Chapter 178 means that if a rental property or neighboring operation is classified as a junkyard under the Village Code, the protections and requirements of this chapter would not apply to it. Tenants who believe a property should or should not qualify for this exemption may want to review the Village Code's junkyard definition or reach out to the North Syracuse village offices for clarification. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can also help residents understand how this scoping exemption may affect their situation.
