Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-74
Remedies not exclusive
Operative Text
The remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law, and all remedies may be pursued concurrently or consecutively, and the pursuit of any remedy shall not be construed as an election or the waiver of the right to pursue any and all of the others.
Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-74 establishes that the remedies available under Chapter 182 are cumulative rather than mutually exclusive. This means that using one remedy does not forfeit or waive the right to use any other remedy available under the ordinance or under other applicable law. Multiple remedies may be pursued at the same time or one after another, and no single choice of remedy is treated as a final election that bars the others.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 182-74, property owners and managers should be aware that enforcement authorities are not limited to a single remedy when addressing violations of Auburn's Chapter 182. A compliant operator generally keeps thorough records of corrective actions taken, since multiple enforcement tracks—administrative, civil, or otherwise—can run simultaneously or in sequence. Understanding that remedies stack rather than substitute for one another helps operators appreciate the full scope of potential consequences for non-compliance.

Section 182-74 of Auburn's housing code means that tenants are not required to choose just one avenue of relief when asserting rights under Chapter 182. A tenant may simultaneously or sequentially pursue different remedies—such as raising a violation as a defense in a proceeding, filing a complaint with a relevant local authority, or consulting a tenant-rights organization—without losing access to the others. This provision reinforces that selecting one path does not close off additional options that may be available under the ordinance or other law.
