Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-4
Conflict with other regulations
Operative Text
In any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of any Zoning, Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire, Safety or Health Ordinance, or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or any other ordinance, code or regulation of the Village of Manorhaven, the provision which establishes the highest standard shall prevail.
Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 § 82-4 establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between the Village's rental regulations and other local codes, such as zoning, building, fire, safety, or health ordinances. When two provisions address the same subject but set different standards, the one that imposes the stricter or higher standard takes precedence. This rule ensures that overlapping local regulations do not create a loophole that allows a lower standard to override a more protective one.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 82 § 82-4, operators managing rental property in Manorhaven are generally expected to identify which applicable Village code—whether it is a building, fire, health, or zoning ordinance—sets the highest standard on any given requirement and comply with that standard. A compliant operator does not simply meet the minimum threshold of one code while ignoring a stricter requirement found in another. Reviewing all potentially overlapping Village regulations for a given property condition is a common practice for staying in compliance.

Section 82-4 of Manorhaven's ch. 82 means that if a landlord's conduct meets one Village code but falls short of a stricter overlapping code, the higher standard still applies and may form the basis of a complaint or defense. Tenants who believe a property condition violates a building, health, or safety ordinance can inquire with the relevant Village department about which standard governs. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing codes can help explain how this conflict-resolution rule may interact with a specific housing condition.
