Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 166 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 166-5
Availability of remedies
Operative Text
Notwithstanding the availability of other remedies for enforcement of the provisions contained in any ordinance or code of the Village and in any other state or local law, ordinance or regulation enforced by the Village, the remedies and enforcement procedures as set forth in this chapter are made available to enforce the provisions of the aforesaid ordinances, codes and laws and shall be deemed cumulative to other enforcement procedures and remedies.
Section 166-5 of Johnson City's Code of Ordinances establishes that the enforcement tools and remedies described in Chapter 166 are available in addition to—not instead of—any other enforcement mechanisms that already exist under village ordinances, state law, or local regulations. In other words, the village can pursue multiple enforcement paths simultaneously or in sequence for the same violation. This provision does not create new substantive obligations but expands the toolkit available to enforce existing rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 166-5, property owners and managers should be aware that a single code violation may be addressed through more than one enforcement channel at the same time, since Chapter 166 remedies are explicitly cumulative. Compliant operators generally maintain properties in accordance with all applicable village ordinances and state regulations to avoid exposure across multiple enforcement tracks. Keeping thorough maintenance records and responding promptly to any notices can help demonstrate good-faith compliance across all applicable frameworks.

Section 166-5 means that tenants are not limited to a single avenue when seeking enforcement of village housing or property codes—multiple remedies may be pursued concurrently. If a landlord is violating a village ordinance or applicable state regulation, tenants may have the option to raise the violation through Chapter 166 procedures as well as through any other available complaint or enforcement process. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization can help identify which combination of remedies under § 166-5 and other provisions may be relevant to a given situation.
