Buffalo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 264 § 264-14
Remedies not exclusive (Buffalo Rental Dwelling Unit Registration Ordinance)
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter are not exclusive and are in addition to and do not supersede or preempt other remedies or provisions of the City, state, or federal laws and housing codes as may apply.
Buffalo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 264 § 264-14 establishes that the remedies and requirements set out in Chapter 264 exist alongside—not instead of—other applicable city, state, and federal laws and housing codes. This means that a person or entity subject to Chapter 264 may also be subject to obligations and remedies found elsewhere in the law. No single body of rules displaces the others; they operate concurrently.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Buffalo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 264 § 264-14, property owners and managers operating in Buffalo should be aware that compliance with Chapter 264 alone does not necessarily satisfy all legal obligations. Compliant operators typically review applicable city ordinances, New York State housing law, and federal requirements together, treating them as a combined framework rather than alternatives. Overlooking parallel legal requirements can expose operators to remedies beyond those listed in Chapter 264 itself.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Buffalo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 264 § 264-14 means that tenants are not limited to the remedies provided by Chapter 264 alone when addressing housing concerns.

Tenants who believe their housing conditions violate multiple bodies of law may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand the full range of options available to them.
