Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-4
Conflicts with other laws; repealer
Operative Text
A. The provisions of this code 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 code, 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 code, 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 code 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 law, ordinance, code or regulation of the village or of any other governmental body or agency having proper jurisdiction, the provision or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail. C. Ordinance number 57-B, entitled "Housing Code of the Village of Great Neck Plaza," is hereby repealed upon the effective date of this chapter.
Section 124-4 of the Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between this housing code and other local laws or regulations. When a conflict arises, the more restrictive rule or the one setting the higher standard takes precedence, whether that stricter rule comes from this code or from another applicable law. The section also formally repealed the prior housing code, Ordinance 57-B, upon this chapter's effective date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 124-4, property owners and managers operating in Great Neck Plaza must be aware that this housing code does not automatically override every other applicable regulation. When another village ordinance, zoning rule, or agency regulation imposes a stricter requirement on a property — covering areas such as fire safety, plumbing, or health standards — that stricter standard is the one a compliant operator follows. Staying current with all overlapping local and state requirements is a routine part of managing property in the village.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 124-4 means that tenants in Great Neck Plaza may benefit from whichever applicable rule offers the greatest protection, since the more restrictive standard governs when laws conflict. If a tenant believes a landlord is relying on a less stringent rule to avoid a higher obligation imposed by another ordinance or regulation, that conflict may be relevant to a complaint or legal proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing offices can help identify which standard applies in a given regulatory overlap.
