Williston Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 168 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 168-9
Effect on other regulations
Operative Text
The provisions of this article shall supplement local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations existing in the Village of Williston Park and other statutes and regulations of municipal authorities having jurisdiction applicable thereto. Where a provision of this article is found to be in conflict with any provision of a local law, ordinance, code or regulations, the provision or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Section 168-9 of Williston Park's Code of Ordinances establishes how the rental regulations in Article 168 interact with other applicable laws. Rather than replacing existing local laws, ordinances, or state regulations, this article layers on top of them as a supplement. When any conflict arises between Article 168 and another rule, whichever provision is stricter or sets the higher standard automatically takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 168-9, property owners and managers in Williston Park must be aware that compliance with Article 168 does not necessarily mean full legal compliance — other local or state regulations may impose additional or stricter requirements. A compliant operator generally reviews all applicable Village codes, state statutes, and municipal regulations alongside Article 168 to identify which standard is most demanding. Where any overlap or conflict exists, operators are generally expected to meet the higher of the competing requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 168-9 means that tenants in Williston Park may be protected by whichever rule — whether from Article 168 or another applicable local or state regulation — provides the greater protection. If a landlord appears to be meeting one set of rules while falling short of a stricter overlapping requirement, that stricter standard still applies. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can look into filing a complaint with the relevant Village authority, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or raising the conflict between applicable standards as part of any formal proceeding.
