Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 99 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 99-9
Effect on other governmental units and laws
Operative Text
A. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed so as to limit or prohibit any other governmental unit of competent jurisdiction, nor shall anything contained herein limit any aggrieved party, from pursuing any such situation. The Commission is hereby empowered to place any and all of its material obtained through the investigation at the disposal of such other governmental unit. B. This chapter shall supersede all laws inconsistent with it to the extent of such inconsistency, but in all other respects shall be deemed supplemental to such laws.
Section 99-9 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances Chapter 99 establishes how the local fair-housing chapter interacts with other laws and governmental bodies. It clarifies that the chapter does not block other government agencies from acting on the same matter, and it allows the Commission to share investigative materials with those agencies. Where this chapter conflicts with other laws, it takes precedence to the extent of that conflict; where no conflict exists, it operates alongside those other laws as a supplement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 99-9, a property owner or manager operating in Ellenville should be aware that compliance with this chapter does not necessarily resolve obligations under other applicable laws or regulations. Other governmental bodies retain full authority to investigate or act on the same conduct independently, meaning a single situation could be subject to review by multiple agencies simultaneously. Operators generally maintain thorough records and consistent practices across all applicable legal frameworks, not just the local chapter.

Section 99-9 makes clear that pursuing a complaint under Chapter 99 does not foreclose an aggrieved party from also seeking relief through other governmental bodies or legal avenues. Tenants who believe their rights have been violated may find that multiple agencies—local, state, or federal—have concurrent authority over the same situation. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which bodies may be relevant and what general options exist under this supplemental framework.
