Amityville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 137 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 137-1
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Village, county or state or existing requirements of any other provision of local laws or ordinances of the Village or county or state laws and regulations. In the case of a conflict between this article and other regulations, that which sets the more stringent requirement will prevail.
Section 137-1 of Amityville's Code of Ordinances establishes that the rental regulations in this article operate alongside—not instead of—other applicable Village, county, and state rules. No existing legal remedy or regulatory requirement is eliminated or weakened by this article's adoption. When a conflict arises between this article and another regulation, the stricter of the two standards controls.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 137-1, property owners and managers must recognize that compliance with this article does not automatically satisfy every other applicable local, county, or state requirement. A compliant operator generally reviews all overlapping regulatory frameworks—Village ordinances, county rules, and state laws—to ensure the most stringent standard is being met. Relying solely on this article's requirements while ignoring stricter rules from other sources would not constitute full compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 137-1 makes clear that tenants retain all remedies available under Village, county, and state law, none of which are diminished by this article. If a landlord's conduct may violate both this article and a separate local or state regulation, the stricter rule applies, potentially broadening the basis for a complaint or defense. Tenants seeking to understand which overlapping rules may apply to their situation can consult a local tenant-rights organization or a housing agency for general guidance.
