Montebello, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 81 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 81-7
Supersession of other laws; authority
Operative Text
This chapter supersedes, and is in derogation of, Chapter 17A of the Code of the Town of Ramapo, County of Rockland, State of New York. This chapter is enacted by authority of § 20, Subdivision 5, of the Municipal Home Rule Law and any other law referenced herein as authority herefor.
Section 81-7 of Montebello's Code of Ordinances establishes that the Village of Montebello's rental regulations chapter takes legal precedence over Chapter 17A of the Town of Ramapo's code, effectively displacing that Ramapo ordinance within Montebello's jurisdiction. The authority for this supersession is grounded in New York's Municipal Home Rule Law, specifically § 20, Subdivision 5, along with any other statutes cited elsewhere in the chapter. This is a foundational legal-authority provision that defines which body of law governs rental matters in Montebello rather than setting specific tenant or landlord obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating within the Village of Montebello should be aware that, under § 81-7, the Village's own rental regulations chapter—not the Town of Ramapo's Chapter 17A—is the controlling local law for their properties. Compliant operators generally look to Montebello's Code of Ordinances ch. 81 as the primary local authority when assessing their obligations, rather than relying on Ramapo's parallel ordinance. Understanding this jurisdictional foundation helps ensure that compliance efforts are directed at the correct regulatory framework.

For renters in the Village of Montebello, § 81-7 clarifies that the Village's own rental regulations chapter supersedes the Town of Ramapo's Chapter 17A, meaning Montebello's local rules are the ones that apply to their tenancy. This jurisdictional clarity can matter when identifying which local body or process governs a housing complaint or dispute. Tenants seeking to understand their rights under the applicable local law may find it useful to consult Montebello's Code of Ordinances ch. 81 directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with Rockland County housing law.
