Nothing herein shall be construed to impair or limit in any way the power of the Borough of Downingtown to define and declare nuisances and to cause their removal or abatement by proper proceedings. The measures and procedures herein provided for do not supersede and this chapter does not repeal any other measures or procedures which are provided by ordinance or state law for the elimination, repair or correction of the conditions referred to in § 222-1 hereof, and the measures and procedures herein provided for shall be in addition to the same.
In any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be
