Castleton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 141 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 141-15
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to abrogate any provisions of the Sanitary Code of the State of New York or of the County of Rensselaer as the same now provides or as the same hereafter be amended to provide. In the event of inconsistencies existing between the provisions of this chapter and said code or codes, said code or codes shall govern.
Section 141-15 of Castleton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances establishes a hierarchy of authority between the village's local housing chapter and state or county sanitary codes. Where any conflict or inconsistency arises between the local chapter and the New York State Sanitary Code or the Rensselaer County Sanitary Code, the sanitary codes take precedence. The local chapter's provisions are not intended to weaken or replace any existing or future sanitary code requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Chapter 141 should be aware that § 141-15 preserves the full force of both the New York State Sanitary Code and the Rensselaer County Sanitary Code. Compliant operators generally ensure their properties meet sanitary code standards independently of—and in addition to—local chapter requirements. When local rules and sanitary codes appear to conflict, the sanitary codes set the controlling standard.

Section 141-15 means that tenants retain all protections afforded by the New York State and Rensselaer County Sanitary Codes, even where local Chapter 141 provisions might seem to offer a lesser standard. If a housing condition appears to violate sanitary code requirements, tenants may have grounds to raise that violation through sanitary code enforcement channels in addition to any local remedies. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York State and Rensselaer County sanitary regulations can help explain what options may be available.
