Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-12
Applicability
Operative Text
A. No person shall operate a rooming house or shall occupy or let to another for occupancy any rooming unit in any rooming house, except in compliance with the provisions of every section of this chapter. B. Every provision of this chapter which applies to rooming houses shall also apply to hotels, except to the extent that any such provision may be found in conflict with the laws of this state or with the lawful regulations of any state board or agency.
Section 160-12 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances establishes that all requirements in Chapter 160 apply universally to anyone operating, occupying, or renting a rooming unit within a rooming house. The provision also extends every applicable rooming house rule to hotels, unless a specific requirement conflicts with New York State law or a lawful state agency regulation. In cases of such conflict, state law or regulation takes precedence over the local chapter requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-12, operators of rooming houses and hotels in Endicott are generally expected to ensure that every section of Chapter 160 is satisfied before allowing any rooming unit to be occupied or let. Hotel operators should be aware that the same standards applied to rooming houses govern their properties as well, with the narrow exception of any provision that directly conflicts with state law or a state agency's regulations. Compliant operators typically conduct regular reviews of Chapter 160 in its entirety to confirm ongoing adherence across all units.
