Conflict of permits and licenses
Operative Text
All departments, officials and employees of the Village of Port Chester, New York, who have the duty or the authority to issue permits or licenses in regard to the construction, installation, repair, use or occupancy of dwellings, dwelling units, rooming houses or rooming units, equipment or facilities shall conform to the provisions of this law, and no such permit or license shall be issued if such would be in conflict with this law, except as provided in § 197-5 .
Section 197-6 of Port Chester's Code of Ordinances (ch. 197) establishes that any permit or license related to the construction, installation, repair, use, or occupancy of dwellings, rooming houses, or related equipment must align with the housing standards set out in the same chapter. Village officials and employees with permitting or licensing authority are bound by these requirements. A permit or license that would conflict with the chapter's provisions cannot lawfully be issued, with the limited exception described in § 197-5.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 197 § 197-6, operators seeking permits or licenses for construction, installation, repair, or occupancy of dwellings or rooming units in Port Chester should ensure that proposed work and conditions meet the chapter's housing standards before applying. A compliant operator typically reviews the relevant provisions of ch. 197 prior to submission so that the application does not present conflicts that would require denial. Being aware of the § 197-5 exception and how it may apply to a given project is also part of standard due diligence in the permitting process.

Section 197-6 of Port Chester's ch. 197 means that Village officials cannot lawfully issue permits or licenses for work on dwellings or rooming units that would conflict with the chapter's housing standards, which provides a layer of protection for occupants. If a tenant believes that permitted work or a newly issued license conflicts with these standards, they may raise that concern with the relevant Village department or a local tenant-rights organization. Understanding this provision can also be relevant when evaluating whether conditions in a dwelling were legally authorized under the permitting process.
