In all matters that are regulated by the law of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania or by regulations of departments or agencies of the
commonwealth promulgated by authority of law, such laws or regulations,
or other ordinances of the City of Clairton, as the case may be, shall
control where the requirements thereof are the same as or in excess
of the provisions of this chapter. The codes shall control in all
cases where the state requirements, or the requirements of other ordinances
of this City, are not as strict as those contained in this chapter.

as those of ordinances and/or codes in force immediately prior to

ordinances and codes and not as new enactments. The provisions of
this chapter shall not affect any act done or liability incurred nor
shall they affect any suit or prosecution pending or to be instituted
to enforce any right or penalty or to punish any offense under the
authority of any of the repealed ordinances.
