Lackawanna, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 § 154-7
Administration and enforcement
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall be administered and enforced in accordance with Chapter 139 , insofar as said chapter is applicable to the provisions of this chapter.
Section 154-7 of Lackawanna's Code of Ordinances establishes that the housing regulations in Chapter 154 are administered and enforced by applying the procedures and mechanisms already set out in Chapter 139, to the extent those procedures are relevant. Rather than creating a separate enforcement framework, this provision links Chapter 154's rules to an existing administrative structure. The practical effect is that enforcement of Chapter 154 follows the same general process as other housing-related matters governed by Chapter 139.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 154 should be aware that under § 154-7, compliance and enforcement matters are handled through the framework established in Chapter 139 of Lackawanna's Code of Ordinances. Operators familiar with Chapter 139 procedures—such as inspection protocols, notice requirements, and violation processes—can generally expect those same mechanisms to apply when Chapter 154 issues arise. Maintaining records and responding to official notices in accordance with Chapter 139 standards is consistent with operating under this combined framework.

Section 154-7 means that tenants seeking to raise concerns about conditions covered by Chapter 154 can generally look to the enforcement procedures outlined in Chapter 139 of Lackawanna's Code of Ordinances for guidance on how complaints and violations are processed. Tenants may consider contacting the appropriate Lackawanna municipal office to understand which specific Chapter 139 procedures apply to their situation. Local tenant-rights organizations familiar with Lackawanna's code can also help explain how the linked enforcement structure works in practice.
