Beacon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 173 § 173-9
Effect on other laws
Operative Text
Nothing in this article shall be deemed to preempt the laws of the State of New York for the rental of residential or commercial property or the application of other City of Beacon laws and ordinances and the Code to the premises, including inspection of the premises.
Section 173-9 of Beacon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 173 establishes that the local rental regulations in this article do not override or replace New York State law governing residential or commercial property rentals. Likewise, other City of Beacon ordinances and codes—including those related to property inspections—continue to apply alongside this article. In other words, this provision is additive: multiple layers of law can apply to the same rental property at the same time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 173-9, operators of rental properties in Beacon should be aware that compliance with ch. 173 does not substitute for compliance with New York State rental law or other City of Beacon codes. A compliant property owner or manager typically tracks obligations under all applicable layers of law simultaneously—state statutes, local ordinances, and the City Code, including inspection requirements. Treating ch. 173 as the only applicable framework would be an incomplete approach to regulatory compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 173-9 makes clear that tenants in Beacon retain all protections afforded by New York State law in addition to any rights created by ch. 173 itself. Other City of Beacon ordinances—such as those governing property inspections—also remain available as potential avenues for addressing substandard conditions. Tenants who believe multiple rules may apply to their situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full City Code and relevant state statutes to understand the range of protections that may be available.
