East Rockaway, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 234 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 234-6
Preservation of existing remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Village, county or state or existing requirements of any other provision of local laws or ordinances of the Village or county or state laws and regulations. In the case of a conflict between this chapter and other regulations, that which sets the more stringent requirement shall prevail.
East Rockaway Code ch. 234 § 234-6 establishes that the rules in Chapter 234 do not cancel out or override any other remedies or requirements that already exist under Village, county, or state law. If Chapter 234 and another applicable regulation conflict, whichever sets the stricter standard is the one that applies. This provision is essentially a savings clause, ensuring that the broader legal framework remains intact alongside Chapter 234.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 234 § 234-6, property owners and managers operating in East Rockaway must recognize that compliance with Chapter 234 does not automatically satisfy all other applicable Village, county, or state requirements. A compliant operator generally reviews all overlapping local ordinances, county rules, and state regulations to identify which standard is most stringent and applies that standard. Keeping current with the full stack of applicable regulations — not just Chapter 234 — is characteristic of responsible property management in this jurisdiction.

Section 234-6 of East Rockaway's Code means that tenants retain any rights and remedies available under Village, county, or state law even when Chapter 234 is also in play. If a landlord's conduct may violate both Chapter 234 and another local or state regulation, the stricter of those rules governs. Tenants who believe their rights have been violated can explore remedies under multiple legal frameworks, and tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help identify which provisions and enforcement paths may be relevant.
