The provisions of this chapter will take precedence
over any other laws, ordinances or codes in effect in the City if
the provisions of this chapter are more stringent than such other

The provisions of this chapter are severable.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part is
adjudged invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the effect
of such order or judgment does not affect or invalidate any other
provisions of this chapter or their application to other persons and
circumstances.
All regulated activities are subject to the
review procedures required by the New York State Environmental Quality
Review Act (SEQR), Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation
Law. The applicant may be required to submit information necessary
for compliance with SEQR in addition to information required under
this chapter.
