Rosendale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 36A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 36A-6
Other remedies
Operative Text
Nothing herein contained shall prevent any person from exercising any right or seeking any remedy to which he might otherwise be entitled or from filing his or her complaint with any appropriate governmental agency.
Section 36A-6 of Rosendale's rental regulations makes clear that the rules in Chapter 36A do not take away or limit any legal rights or remedies that already exist under other laws. A person may still pursue any claim, action, or complaint available to them through other legal channels. This provision functions as a savings clause, preserving the full range of options that would otherwise be available independent of Chapter 36A.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 36A-6, property owners and managers should understand that compliance with Chapter 36A does not shield them from obligations or claims arising under other applicable laws. A compliant operator remains subject to federal, state, and local requirements that exist outside of Rosendale's rental code. Operators generally maintain awareness of the broader legal landscape governing their properties, not just the specific requirements of Chapter 36A.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 36A-6 affirms that tenants retain all rights and remedies available to them beyond what Chapter 36A itself provides. This means a tenant may file complaints with appropriate governmental agencies, pursue remedies under state or federal law, or raise violations through other legal avenues in addition to any protections offered by Rosendale's local code. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify which agencies or legal channels may be relevant to a particular set of circumstances.
