Hamburg Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 109 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 109-9
Other remedies
Operative Text
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit the rights of the complainant to pursue, at any time prior to or after the filing of a complaint, any other remedies which the complainant may have under the law of any state, the United States or any jurisdiction. Pursuit of one or more remedies available under this chapter shall not preclude the pursuit of any other remedy available under this chapter.
Section 109-9 of Hamburg Town Code Chapter 109 establishes that the complaint and remedy procedures described in the chapter are not the only options available to someone with a grievance — other legal remedies under state, federal, or other jurisdictions' law remain fully available. Filing or pursuing a complaint under this chapter does not block a person from also pursuing any other remedy the chapter itself provides. The provision is designed to ensure that the chapter's procedures supplement, rather than replace, broader legal rights.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 109-9 of Hamburg Town Code Chapter 109, a complainant retains the ability to pursue legal action or other remedies outside of this chapter's framework, regardless of whether a complaint has been filed. Property owners and managers should be aware that resolving or responding to a complaint under Chapter 109 does not necessarily close off other legal avenues a complainant may have. Operators generally maintain thorough records of compliance efforts precisely because multiple legal tracks can run concurrently.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 109-9 of Hamburg Town Code Chapter 109 makes clear that using the complaint process established by the chapter does not waive or limit any other legal rights a person may have under New York State law, federal law, or other applicable law. A person may pursue remedies under this chapter before, during, or after seeking relief through other legal channels. Those who believe their rights have been violated may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand the full range of options available to them.
