Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-4
Conflict with other regulations
Operative Text
Should any provision of this chapter be in conflict with existing regulations applicable to the Village of Bath, the more restrictive shall apply.
Section 72-4 of Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 72 establishes a conflict-resolution rule: when this chapter's requirements overlap or clash with other applicable regulations in the Village of Bath, whichever standard is stricter governs. This means neither set of rules is simply overridden; instead, the higher bar automatically controls. The provision does not create new substantive requirements on its own but shapes how competing rules interact.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances § 72-4, property owners and managers operating in the Village of Bath should be aware that compliance with one regulatory framework does not guarantee compliance with all applicable rules. A compliant operator generally identifies every regulation that applies to a given property or activity and then meets the most demanding standard among them. Keeping current with both Chapter 72 and any overlapping local, state, or federal requirements is a routine part of responsible property management in Bath.

Section 72-4 of Bath's Chapter 72 means that tenants may benefit from whichever rule—whether from this chapter or another applicable regulation—offers the greater protection. If a landlord claims compliance with one set of rules while a stricter standard also applies, the stricter standard still controls. Tenants who believe a more protective regulation is being overlooked can raise that concern with local code enforcement, consult the Village of Bath's municipal offices, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
