Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-47
Application
Operative Text
A. The provisions of this Part 2 shall supersede local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations to the extent that such laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are inconsistent with the provisions of this Part 2 , provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the adoption and enforcement of a law, ordinance or regulation which is more restrictive or establishes a higher standard than those provided in this Part 2 , and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard shall govern during the period in which it is in effect. B. In a case where a provision of this Part 2 is found to be in conflict with a provision of a zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, fire, safety, health, water supply or sewage disposal law or ordinance, or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or other local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is the more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 § 122-47 establishes a hierarchy for resolving conflicts between Part 2 of the code and other local laws, ordinances, or regulations. When Part 2 conflicts with another local rule—whether related to zoning, building, fire safety, plumbing, or similar subjects—the more restrictive requirement or higher standard controls. Importantly, Part 2 does not prevent any authority from adopting or enforcing rules that are stricter than Part 2's own provisions; those stricter rules take precedence while they remain in effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Highland Falls should be aware that § 122-47 means compliance with Part 2 alone may not be sufficient if another applicable local ordinance or regulation sets a higher standard. Compliant operators generally review all overlapping local requirements—including zoning, building, fire, and health codes—and apply whichever rule is most restrictive. Keeping current with any amendments to local ordinances helps ensure that operations remain aligned with the governing standard at any given time.

Section 122-47 of the Highland Falls Code means that tenants may benefit from protections drawn from multiple layers of local regulation, not just Part 2 itself, whenever another applicable rule is stricter. If a housing condition appears to violate either Part 2 or a related local code, tenants can document the concern and raise it with the appropriate local enforcement authority, noting that the more protective standard applies under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Highland Falls local law can help identify which overlapping rules may be relevant to a given housing situation.
