Glen Cove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 168 § 168-5
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
The provisions of this Part 1 shall supplement state and local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. Where a provision of this Part 1 is found to be in conflict with a provision of a state or local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the more restrictive provision shall prevail when legally permissible.
Glen Cove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 168 § 168-5 establishes how Part 1 of the chapter interacts with other laws. Rather than replacing state or local rules, Part 1 is designed to layer on top of them as an additional set of requirements. When a conflict arises between Part 1 and another applicable law, the rule that imposes the stricter standard governs, provided that applying the stricter rule is legally permissible.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 168-5, property owners and managers operating in Glen Cove cannot simply default to state or local minimums when Part 1 sets a higher standard — the more restrictive rule applies. Compliant operators generally review both Part 1 requirements and any overlapping state or local regulations to identify which standard is stricter, then follow that standard. Keeping documentation of this comparative review can help demonstrate good-faith compliance across overlapping regulatory frameworks.

Section 168-5 means that tenants in Glen Cove may be protected by whichever rule — Part 1 or a state or local law — offers the stronger protection. If a landlord points to a less stringent state or local rule to justify a practice, this provision may support the position that the stricter Part 1 standard still applies. Tenants who believe a landlord is relying on a weaker standard to avoid a Part 1 obligation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Glen Cove's local code.
