Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-3
Conflict with other standards
Operative Text
In any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of any zoning, building, fire, safety or health ordinance or code of the Village existing on the effective date of this chapter, the provision which establishes the higher standard for the promotion and protection of the health and safety of the people shall prevail; in any case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of any legislation or code of the Village existing on the effective date of this chapter which establishes a lower standard for the promotion and protection of the health and safety of the people, the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to prevail, and such other legislation or codes are hereby declared to be repealed to the extent that they may be found in conflict with this chapter.
Section 160-3 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between Chapter 160 and other local codes, such as zoning, building, fire, safety, or health ordinances. When another Village code sets a higher standard for health and safety than Chapter 160, that higher standard controls. When another Village code sets a lower standard, Chapter 160 prevails and the conflicting lower standard is effectively repealed to the extent of the conflict.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-3, property owners and managers operating in Endicott must be aware that compliance with Chapter 160 does not automatically satisfy all applicable local codes — whichever standard is more protective of health and safety governs. Compliant operators generally review all relevant Village ordinances, including zoning, building, fire, and health codes, to identify which standard is highest and apply it. Keeping records of which code provisions were consulted and applied helps demonstrate good-faith compliance across overlapping regulatory requirements.

Section 160-3 means that tenants in Endicott benefit from the most protective health and safety standard available across all applicable Village codes, not merely the minimum set by any single ordinance. If a housing condition appears to violate Chapter 160 or a related Village code, tenants can raise the conflict-resolution rule under § 160-3 as relevant context when filing a complaint with the appropriate Village authority or when seeking guidance from a tenant-rights organization. Understanding that the higher standard always applies can be useful background when evaluating whether a reported condition has been adequately addressed.
