Babylon Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 153 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 153-1
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Town, county or state or existing requirements of any other provision of local laws or ordinances of the Town 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 153-1 of Babylon Town Code Chapter 153 is a savings and conflict-resolution clause. It establishes that this article does not eliminate or override any remedies or requirements that already exist under Town, county, or state law. When this article conflicts with another applicable regulation, the stricter of the two standards controls.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 153-1, property owners and managers operating in Babylon Town cannot treat compliance with this article as a ceiling that excuses them from meeting more demanding requirements found elsewhere in local, county, or state law. Compliant operators generally audit their practices against all applicable layers of regulation—Town, county, and state—to ensure they are meeting whichever standard is most stringent. Keeping records of compliance with each applicable regulatory layer helps demonstrate that no overlapping requirement has been overlooked.

Section 153-1 means that tenants retain the full benefit of any Town, county, or state protections that may be stronger than what this article alone provides. If a landlord's conduct appears to violate this article but also implicates other local or state rules, the more protective standard applies and may be raised as part of any complaint or legal proceeding. Tenants who believe multiple regulations are at issue can consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand which layer of law offers the broadest protection.
