SECTION A-103.0 VALIDITY
A-103.1 Partial invalidity: In the event any part or
provision of this code or the technical codes is held to be illegal or void,
this shall not have the effect of making void or illegal any of the other parts
or provisions thereof, which are determined to be legal; and it shall be
presumed that this code and the technical codes would have been passed without
such illegal or invalid parts or provisions.
A-103.2 Segregation of
invalid provisions: Any invalid part of this code or the technical codes shall
be separated from the remainder of such codes by the court holding such part
invalid, and the remainder shall remain effective.
A-103.3 Existing
structures: The invalidity of any provision in any section of this code or the
technical codes as applied to existing structures shall not be held to affect
the validity of such section in its application to structures hereafter
erected.
A-103.4 Saving clause: The enactment of this code and/or any of the
technical codes shall not affect violations of any ordinance, code or regulation
existing prior to the effective date of this code or the technical codes. Any
such violation shall be governed and shall continue to be punishable to the full
extent of the law under the provisions of those ordinances, codes or regulations
in effect at the time the violation was committed.
Exception: The code
official shall have the authority, upon proper evaluation, to not enforce a
violation issued under any ordinance, code or regulation existing prior to the
effective date of this code or the technical codes where such violation does not
constitute a violation of this code and the current technical
codes.
