Ghent, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 136-9
Provisions of other laws not affected
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall be in addition to all pertinent provisions of the Uniform Code, the Town of Ghent Zoning Law, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the subject matter of this chapter, which code, law, rules and regulations shall not be diminished by any provision set forth herein.
Section 136-9 of Ghent, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 136 establishes that the rules in Chapter 136 operate alongside—and do not replace or weaken—other applicable legal frameworks, including the Uniform Code and the Town of Ghent Zoning Law. In other words, compliance with Chapter 136 does not excuse a party from meeting the requirements of any other relevant law, rule, or regulation. All overlapping legal obligations remain fully in effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 136-9 of Ghent's Code ch. 136, property owners and managers must satisfy the requirements of Chapter 136 in addition to—not instead of—the Uniform Code, the Town of Ghent Zoning Law, and any other applicable regulations. Compliant operators typically audit their properties against all relevant legal frameworks simultaneously, since meeting one set of rules does not satisfy another. Overlooking a parallel obligation under zoning or building codes remains a potential source of violation even when Chapter 136 requirements are otherwise met.

Section 136-9 of Ghent, N.Y., Code ch. 136 means that tenants may have protections and remedies available under multiple overlapping legal frameworks—not just Chapter 136 itself. If a concern arises, it may implicate the Uniform Code, local zoning law, or other applicable regulations, each of which retains its full force. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can explore complaints or defenses under any of these frameworks, and consulting a tenant-rights organization can help identify which avenues may be relevant.
