Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 199 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 199-5
Preservation of alternate remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this chapter 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.
Section 199-5 of Babylon Village's Code of Ordinances establishes that the rules in Chapter 199 do not eliminate or override any other legal remedies or requirements that already exist at the village, county, or state level. In other words, this provision acts as a savings clause, ensuring that other applicable laws, ordinances, and enforcement tools remain fully intact alongside Chapter 199. The chapter is meant to add to the existing legal framework, not replace any part of it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 199-5, property owners and managers operating in Babylon Village should be aware that compliance with Chapter 199 does not substitute for compliance with other applicable village, county, or state laws and ordinances. A compliant operator generally reviews all layers of applicable regulation — local, county, and state — rather than treating Chapter 199 as the sole governing framework. Obligations under building codes, zoning rules, or other local ordinances remain independently enforceable alongside this chapter.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 199-5 preserves the full range of remedies available to tenants beyond what Chapter 199 itself provides, meaning that village, county, and state laws continue to apply in full. Tenants who believe their rights have been violated may have multiple avenues available to them, including remedies under other local ordinances or state law, in addition to any protections offered by Chapter 199. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Babylon Village and New York State law can help identify which overlapping protections may be relevant to a given situation.
