Saugerties Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-4
Conflict with other provisions
Operative Text
When this chapter is in conflict with any other local law, ordinance, statute, rule, regulation or any other code or ordinance adopted by the Village of Saugerties, the most restrictive law shall prevail.
Section 142-4 of Saugerties Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a conflict-resolution rule: when Chapter 142 overlaps or conflicts with any other local law, ordinance, statute, rule, or regulation adopted by the Village of Saugerties, the more restrictive of the two provisions controls. This means that whichever rule imposes the stricter standard or greater obligation is the one that applies. The provision does not create new substantive requirements on its own but determines which rule governs when two valid rules point in different directions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 142-4, property owners and managers operating in Saugerties Village must identify and comply with whichever applicable rule is more restrictive whenever Chapter 142 overlaps with another local law or ordinance. Compliant operators generally review all potentially applicable Village codes—not just Chapter 142—to determine which standard sets the higher bar, and then meet that higher standard. Keeping current with the full body of Saugerties Village ordinances is a practical part of maintaining compliance given this provision.

Section 142-4 means that tenants in Saugerties Village may benefit from whichever overlapping rule offers stronger protections, since the more restrictive provision prevails over a less restrictive one. If a landlord's practice appears to comply with one Village rule but falls short of a stricter overlapping rule under Chapter 142, that stricter standard still applies. Tenants who believe a conflict between provisions is being misapplied can consult a local tenant-rights organization or seek guidance from Village officials to understand which rule governs their situation.
