Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 97-42
Effect on other provisions; more restrictive provisions to prevail
Operative Text
A. The provisions of this chapter shall supersede local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations to the extent that such laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the adoption and enforcement of a law, ordinance or regulation which is more restrictive or establishes a higher standard for mobile home parks than those provided in this chapter, and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard shall govern during the period in which it is in effect. B. In a case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of a building, electrical, plumbing, firesafety, health, water supply or sewage disposal law or ordinance or regulation, the provisions or requirements which are more restrictive or which establish a higher standard shall prevail.
Section 97-42 of Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 97 establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between this chapter's mobile home park rules and other local regulations. When another local law, ordinance, or code conflicts with this chapter, the more restrictive requirement or higher standard takes precedence. This applies both to general local regulations and to specific technical codes covering areas such as building, electrical, plumbing, fire safety, health, water supply, and sewage disposal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Barton should be aware that § 97-42 means compliance with Chapter 97 alone may not be sufficient if another applicable local code, building standard, or health regulation sets a stricter requirement. A compliant operator generally reviews all overlapping regulatory frameworks—including electrical, plumbing, fire safety, and sewage codes—and applies whichever standard is most stringent. Keeping documentation of which standard was applied and why is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating regulatory compliance.

Section 97-42 provides residents of mobile home parks in Barton with a layer of protection by ensuring that the strictest applicable standard governs their living conditions, not merely the minimum set by Chapter 97. If a tenant believes a park condition falls short of a more protective building, health, or safety code, that conflict-of-standards rule may be relevant to raising a concern with local code enforcement authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand which standards apply and what complaint or enforcement avenues may be available.
