Baxter Estates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 146-6
Issuance of permit
Operative Text
A permit shall be issued hereunder upon a determination by the Superintendent of Buildings that the rental dwelling unit(s) which are the subject of the application are in compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Code of the Incorporated Village of Baxter Estates. Where the provisions or requirements of such codes are in conflict, one with the other, then the provision or requirement which is the more restrictive, or which establishes the higher standard, shall prevail.
Under Baxter Estates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-6, a rental dwelling unit permit is issued only after the Superintendent of Buildings confirms that the unit meets both the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the local Village Code. If those two codes ever conflict, the stricter or higher standard automatically controls. This dual-compliance requirement means a unit must satisfy whichever set of rules is more demanding before a permit can be granted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 146-6, operators seeking a rental permit must ensure their dwelling units satisfy both the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Baxter Estates Village Code before the Superintendent of Buildings will issue approval. Where the two codes impose different standards on the same condition, the more restrictive requirement governs, so compliant operators generally audit their properties against both sets of rules simultaneously. Keeping documentation of inspections and any corrective work completed can support a smooth permit determination.

Section 146-6 establishes that a rental unit in Baxter Estates should hold a valid permit, which the Superintendent of Buildings issues only after confirming the unit meets applicable fire, building, and local code standards. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit has been properly permitted or meets those code requirements may raise the issue with the Village's building or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York Village law can also help residents understand what options are generally available when a unit may not be in compliance.
