Poquott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 123 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 123-5
Applicability
Operative Text
The provisions of this article shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, codes and regulations. Nothing in this article shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies or existing requirements of any other provision of state or local law or code or regulation. In the case of a conflict between any provision of this article and any applicable state or local law, code or regulation, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail. The issuance of any permit or the filing of any form under this article does not make legal any action or state of facts that is otherwise illegal, unlawful or unpermitted, or otherwise in contravention of any other applicable law, code, rule or regulation.
Chapter 123, Section 123-5 of Poquott's Code of Ordinances establishes that the rental regulations in this article work alongside—rather than replacing—existing state and local laws. When this article's requirements conflict with another applicable law or regulation, whichever standard is stricter takes precedence. Additionally, obtaining a permit or filing a form under this article does not legalize anything that would otherwise be prohibited under any other applicable rule or law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Poquott Code § 123-5, operators must recognize that compliance with this article's requirements does not automatically satisfy all other applicable state and local obligations. Where a conflict arises between this article and another law or regulation, the more stringent standard governs day-to-day operations. Compliant operators generally audit their practices against the full range of applicable rules, not just those contained within Chapter 123.

Section 123-5 of Poquott's Code ch. 123 means that tenants retain all rights and remedies available under other state and local laws, even if this article's provisions are met. A landlord's compliance with this article alone does not shield them from obligations imposed by stricter rules elsewhere. Tenants who believe additional protections apply to their situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review applicable state and local codes to understand the full scope of available remedies.
