Castleton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 159 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 159-4
Applicability; construal of provisions
Operative Text
A. Scope. This chapter shall apply to all rental dwelling units located within the Village, whether or not the use and occupancy thereof shall be permitted under the applicable use regulations for the zoning district in which such rental dwelling unit is located, as provided in this chapter. B. Applicability. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, and nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Village, county or state or existing requirements of any other applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. In case of conflict between any provisions of this chapter and any applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail.
Section 159-4 of Castleton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances establishes that the village's rental housing chapter covers every rental dwelling unit within village limits, regardless of whether that unit's use is permitted under local zoning rules. The chapter is designed to work alongside—not replace—existing state and local housing laws, meaning tenants and landlords remain subject to all other applicable legal requirements. When this chapter's rules conflict with another law or regulation, whichever standard is stricter or more protective takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 159-4, operators of rental dwelling units in Castleton-on-Hudson must comply with this chapter even if a unit's use is not fully conforming under local zoning. Because the chapter supplements rather than replaces other state and local requirements, compliant operators generally track obligations under all applicable layers of law simultaneously. When a conflict arises between this chapter and another code or regulation, the more stringent requirement is the operative standard a property owner would be expected to meet.

Section 159-4 makes clear that the village's rental housing rules apply to all rental units in Castleton-on-Hudson, including those in non-conforming zoning situations, so a unit's zoning status does not remove it from the chapter's protections. Because this chapter supplements existing state and local law, tenants retain all rights available under those other frameworks as well. Tenants who believe a landlord is not meeting the applicable standards may explore options such as filing a complaint with the relevant village or state authority, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York housing law.
