Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-3
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 Town of Brighton, the most restrictive law shall prevail.
Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 § 129-3 establishes a conflict-resolution rule: whenever Chapter 129 overlaps or clashes with any other local law, ordinance, statute, rule, or regulation adopted by the Town of Brighton, the stricter of the two provisions controls. This means that a more permissive rule in another part of Brighton's code does not override a stricter requirement found in Chapter 129, and vice versa. The effect is to set a 'highest standard wins' baseline across Brighton's regulatory framework.

Compliant operators typically apply whichever requirement imposes the greater obligation when two provisions appear to conflict. Keeping current with the full body of Brighton's local ordinances is therefore a routine part of property management in this jurisdiction.
