Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 107-8
Issuance of permit
Operative Text
A permit shall be issued hereunder upon a determination by the Superintendent of Buildings that the dwelling unit conforms to all applicable provisions of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Code of the Incorporated Village of Brightwaters. Where the provisions or requirements of such codes are in conflict, one with the other, then the provision or requirement which is the more restrictive, or which establishes the higher standard, shall prevail.
Under Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 § 107-8, a rental permit is issued only after the Superintendent of Buildings confirms that the dwelling unit meets all requirements of both the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Village of Brightwaters Code. If those two codes ever conflict, the stricter or higher standard automatically controls. This means a unit must clear the most demanding applicable requirement before a permit can be granted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-8, compliant operators ensure their dwelling units satisfy both the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Brightwaters Village Code before seeking a permit from the Superintendent of Buildings. Because the more restrictive standard prevails whenever the two codes conflict, property owners and managers generally review both codes side by side to identify which imposes the higher requirement. Maintaining documentation of code compliance for each dwelling unit supports a smooth permit-issuance process.

Section 107-8 establishes that a rental unit in Brightwaters should have a permit only if the Superintendent of Buildings has verified it meets all applicable state and local building and fire codes. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit was properly permitted, or whether it meets the applicable code standards, may contact the Village of Brightwaters directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. If a unit appears to lack a required permit or falls short of code requirements, that fact may be relevant to raising a housing-standards concern with the appropriate local authority.
