Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-5
Effect on other regulations
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall supplement state and local laws, ordinances, codes, or regulations. Where a provision of this Part 1 is found to be in conflict with a provision of a state or local law, ordinance, code, or regulation, the more restrictive provision shall prevail when legally permissible.
Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-5 establishes that the rules in Chapter 182 are meant to work alongside—not replace—existing state and local housing laws. When a conflict arises between Chapter 182 and another law or regulation, whichever provision is stricter on the regulated party applies, provided that outcome is legally permissible. This layering approach means that compliance with one set of rules does not automatically satisfy the other.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 182-5, property owners and managers operating in Auburn must account for the possibility that Chapter 182 imposes requirements that go beyond—or are supplemented by—state and local codes. A compliant operator generally reviews all applicable layers of regulation, since the stricter standard controls whenever a conflict exists. Keeping current with both city and state requirements helps ensure that operations meet the highest applicable standard.

Section 182-5 means that tenants in Auburn may be protected by whichever rule—Chapter 182 or a state or local law—offers the greater protection when the two conflict. Tenants who believe a landlord is not meeting the stricter applicable standard can document the concern, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or inquire with the relevant city or state agency about which rules apply to their situation. Understanding that multiple regulatory layers may apply can be an important starting point when exploring available remedies.
