Canton Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 183 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 183-6
Application of provisions
Operative Text
A. The provisions of this chapter shall supersede local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations to the extent that such laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the adoption and enforcement of a law, ordinance, code or regulation which is more restrictive or establishes a higher standard than those provided in this chapter, and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard shall govern during the period in which it is in effect. B. Where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of a zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, fire, safety, health, water supply or sewage disposal law or ordinance, or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or other local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is the more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Canton Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 183 § 183-6 establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between this chapter and other local laws or regulations. When another rule is more restrictive or sets a higher standard than this chapter, that stricter rule takes precedence. Conversely, this chapter supersedes any conflicting local rules that are less restrictive, ensuring that the highest applicable standard always governs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 183-6, property owners and managers operating in Canton Village must be aware that this chapter does not set a ceiling on compliance obligations. Where a zoning, building, fire, health, or other local code imposes stricter requirements than ch. 183, compliant operators follow the more demanding standard. Reviewing all applicable local codes alongside this chapter is a routine part of maintaining a legally compliant property.

Section 183-6 means that tenants in Canton Village may benefit from whichever standard — this chapter or another applicable local code — is more protective. If a landlord claims compliance with ch. 183 while a stricter local ordinance also applies, the stricter rule still governs. Tenants who believe a higher standard is being ignored can raise this provision when documenting concerns, contacting local code enforcement, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
