Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 157-6
Waiver; variance
Operative Text
When, in the opinion of the Village Board, undue individual hardship may result from strict compliance with this chapter, the Board may modify or waive this chapter so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured; provided that such modification or waiver will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter.
Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 § 157-6 establishes a safety-valve mechanism within the village's rental regulations: the Village Board has discretionary authority to modify or waive the chapter's requirements when strict compliance would cause undue individual hardship. Any such relief must still serve the public interest and cannot effectively eliminate the chapter's core intent and purpose. This provision does not create an automatic right to a waiver — it simply authorizes the Board to grant one under appropriate circumstances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 § 157-6, a property owner or manager who believes that strict application of the chapter would impose undue hardship may petition the Village Board for a modification or waiver. Operators who pursue this path typically document the specific hardship, explain how the requested relief remains consistent with the chapter's overall purpose, and present their case at a Board proceeding. Maintaining records of compliance efforts and communications with the Board is a common practice when seeking relief under this provision.

Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 § 157-6 gives the Village Board — not individual landlords — the power to grant waivers or modifications, meaning a landlord cannot unilaterally excuse themselves from the chapter's requirements. If a landlord claims a waiver applies to a tenancy, a tenant may wish to verify whether the Village Board formally granted that relief. Tenant-rights organizations and local legal aid resources can help individuals understand how a granted or denied waiver under this provision might affect their housing situation.
