Albion Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 179-34
Higher standards to prevail
Operative Text
In any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of any other laws or code of the Village of Albion existing on the effective date of this chapter, the provision which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Section 179-34 of Albion Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a conflict-resolution rule: when Chapter 179 clashes with another Village law or code that was in effect when Chapter 179 took effect, whichever provision sets the stricter or more protective standard controls. This means neither body of law is automatically subordinate to the other — the outcome depends on which rule demands more. The provision applies only to conflicts with laws that existed as of Chapter 179's effective date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 179-34, property owners and managers operating in Albion Village must identify which standard is higher whenever Chapter 179 appears to conflict with another applicable Village ordinance in effect at the time Chapter 179 was enacted. Compliant operators generally review both sets of requirements side by side and apply whichever imposes the stricter obligation. Keeping documentation of that analysis can help demonstrate good-faith compliance if a question arises.

Section 179-34 means that tenants in Albion Village may benefit from the more protective of two conflicting local rules — Chapter 179 or another Village ordinance in place when Chapter 179 became effective. If a landlord appears to be following a less stringent standard when a stricter one applies, tenants can raise this provision as a basis for their concern when contacting Village officials or a local tenant-rights organization. Understanding which rule sets the higher standard is often the first step in determining what protections actually apply.
