Cambria, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-28
Conflicts
Operative Text
In any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of any other ordinance or code of the municipality on the effective date of this chapter, the provision, which establishes the higher standard, shall prevail.
Section 127-28 of Cambria's Code of Ordinances establishes a conflict-resolution rule: when this chapter's requirements clash with those of another local ordinance or code, whichever provision sets the stricter or higher standard takes precedence. This rule applies as of the effective date of the chapter and is designed to ensure that the more protective requirement governs in any overlap situation. It does not eliminate either conflicting provision but simply determines which one controls.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 127-28, property owners and managers operating in Cambria must be aware that when two local rules appear to conflict, the one imposing the higher standard is the operative requirement. Compliant operators generally review all applicable municipal codes alongside Chapter 127 to identify which rule is more stringent and apply that standard to their properties. Keeping records of which code provisions were consulted and applied can help demonstrate good-faith compliance.

Section 127-28 means that if Chapter 127 and another Cambria ordinance seem to require different things, tenants benefit from whichever rule offers the greater protection or higher standard. Tenants who believe a landlord is applying a less protective standard than what either Chapter 127 or another local code requires may raise this conflict-resolution rule when pursuing a complaint or inquiry with the relevant municipal authority. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify which standard applies in a given overlap scenario.
