Lackawanna, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 177 § 177-19
Remedies not exclusive
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter are not exclusive and are in addition to and do not supersede or preempt other remedies or provisions of the City, state, or federal laws and housing codes as may apply.
Section 177-19 of Lackawanna's Code of Ordinances establishes that the remedies and requirements set out in Chapter 177 exist alongside—not instead of—other applicable city, state, or federal laws and housing codes. This means that a party is not limited to the remedies found in Chapter 177 alone; other legal avenues remain available and unaffected. The provision does not eliminate or override any protections or obligations that exist under separate legal frameworks.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 177-19, compliance with Chapter 177 does not shield a property owner from obligations imposed by other city ordinances, New York State law, or federal housing regulations. Operators who manage rental properties in Lackawanna generally track requirements across multiple legal frameworks simultaneously, recognizing that Chapter 177 is one layer among several. Staying current with overlapping local, state, and federal codes is a standard part of responsible property management in this jurisdiction.
