Construal of provisions
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall supplement local laws, codes or regulations existing in the Village of West Carthage and the other statutes and regulations of municipal authorities having jurisdiction applicable thereto.

West Carthage, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 63 § 63-3 establishes how the village's rental housing chapter interacts with other applicable laws and regulations. Rather than replacing existing local laws, codes, or regulations, this chapter operates alongside them as a supplement. When a conflict arises between this chapter and another provision, whichever rule is more restrictive or sets the higher standard takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 63 § 63-3, property owners and managers operating in West Carthage must be aware that compliance with this chapter does not necessarily mean full compliance with all applicable law. A compliant operator generally reviews all overlapping local, village, and state regulations to identify which standard is most stringent, and then meets that higher bar. Because multiple regulatory layers may apply simultaneously, operators commonly maintain familiarity with the full body of rules that govern their properties.

Section 63-3 of West Carthage's Code of Ordinances means that tenants may be protected by whichever rule — whether from this chapter or another applicable law — provides the greater protection or sets the stricter standard. If a landlord appears to be relying on a less protective rule while a stricter one also applies, that stricter standard is the one that governs. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can explore options such as contacting the village, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or raising the applicable standard as part of any relevant proceeding.
