Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 12-7
Existing remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish or impair existing remedies of the Village of Tuckahoe, New York or its officers or agencies relating to the removal or demolition of any buildings which are deemed to be dangerous, unsafe or insanitary.
Section 12-7 of Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 12 is a savings clause that preserves the Village of Tuckahoe's pre-existing legal tools for addressing buildings found to be dangerous, unsafe, or unsanitary. It clarifies that nothing else in Chapter 12 eliminates or weakens those remedies, including the authority to order removal or demolition of such structures. In other words, this provision does not create new powers but ensures existing ones remain intact alongside the rest of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-7 of Tuckahoe's Code of Ordinances, property owners should be aware that the Village retains all of its independent legal authority to act against buildings deemed dangerous, unsafe, or unsanitary—separate from any other requirements in Chapter 12. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in a condition that avoids triggering those pre-existing municipal remedies, which can include removal or demolition orders. Awareness of this provision helps owners understand that Chapter 12 does not limit the Village's broader enforcement toolkit.
