Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-26
Application of remedies
Operative Text
The several remedies herein provided with respect to the repair or removal of dangerous buildings or of substandard buildings or the assessment and recovery of the cost of repair or removal thereof incurred by the Village and any other remedies, legal or equitable, available shall be deemed cumulative, and any and all thereof may be pursued concurrently or consecutively; the pursuit of any remedy shall not be construed as an election of the waiver of the right to pursue any and all of the others.
Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-26 establishes that all remedies available to the Village regarding dangerous or substandard buildings — including repair orders, removal, and cost recovery — are cumulative rather than mutually exclusive. This means the Village may pursue multiple remedies at the same time or one after another. Choosing to use one remedy does not forfeit or waive the right to use any of the others.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 83 § 83-26, property owners facing enforcement action for dangerous or substandard buildings should be aware that the Village of Westbury is not limited to a single course of action. Compliant operators generally address cited deficiencies promptly, because the Village may simultaneously or sequentially pursue repair orders, removal proceedings, and cost-recovery assessments. Understanding that no single enforcement step signals the end of the Village's options is important context for anyone managing property subject to Westbury's building code.

Section 83-26 of Westbury's Code of Ordinances is relevant to tenants living in buildings that have been cited as dangerous or substandard, because it confirms the Village retains a full range of enforcement tools — repair, removal, and cost recovery — that can be used together or in sequence. Tenants who believe their building poses safety concerns may contact the Village to inquire about the status of any open enforcement actions. Local tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand how these cumulative remedies may affect their housing situation.
