Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 91 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 91-1.1
Applicability
Operative Text
The requirements of this chapter shall apply to all persons and activities not covered by the requirements of federal lead-based paint renovation, repair and painting rules.
Brighton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 91 § 91-1.1 establishes the scope of the town's local lead-based paint rules by filling in the gaps left by federal regulations. Specifically, it applies to any persons or activities that fall outside the coverage of the federal lead-based paint renovation, repair, and painting rules. This means the local chapter can reach situations that federal law does not already govern.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 91 § 91-1.1, property owners and managers in Brighton should be aware that local lead-based paint requirements may apply to their operations even when federal renovation, repair, and painting rules do not. Compliant operators generally assess whether a given activity is covered by federal rules before assuming local obligations do not apply. Keeping documentation of which regulatory framework governs each project is a common practice for demonstrating compliance.

Brighton's ch. 91 § 91-1.1 means that residents are not left without protections simply because a landlord's activity falls outside federal lead-based paint rules — the local chapter is designed to cover those gaps. Tenants who believe lead-related work in their home is being conducted without proper oversight may have grounds to raise a concern under this local chapter. General enforcement paths can include contacting the relevant Brighton town authority or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
