Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-6
Application of provisions
Operative Text
A. The provisions of this Part 1 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 Part 1 , 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 these provided in this Part 1 , 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 Part 1 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 local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is the more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 § 122-6 establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between Part 1 of this chapter and other local laws or regulations. When any other local rule is less restrictive than Part 1, Part 1 controls; when another rule is more restrictive or sets a higher standard, that stricter rule governs instead. This same principle applies when Part 1 conflicts with zoning, building, fire, health, plumbing, or similar codes — whichever provision is more protective or demanding takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 § 122-6, compliant property operators generally identify all applicable local codes — including zoning, building, fire, and health regulations — and apply whichever standard is the most stringent. Because a more restrictive local ordinance can override Part 1, operators typically review the full landscape of overlapping regulations rather than relying on Part 1 alone. Keeping current with any amendments to related local codes helps ensure ongoing compliance with the applicable higher standard.

Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 § 122-6 means that tenants may be protected by whichever local rule offers the greatest protection, not merely the baseline set by Part 1. If a building, health, or safety code imposes stricter requirements than Part 1, those stricter requirements remain in force and enforceable. Tenants who believe a property falls short of the applicable standard can explore options such as filing a complaint with the relevant local enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Highland Falls regulations.
