Hoosick, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 266 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 266-17
Issuance of license in compliance with other provisions
Operative Text
The issuance of any license pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed to waive compliance by any person with any statute of the State of New York or law, ordinance or health regulation of the Town or County.
Section 266-17 of Hoosick's rental licensing chapter establishes that receiving a rental license does not excuse a property from complying with any other applicable law. State statutes, town ordinances, county laws, and health regulations all remain fully in effect regardless of whether a license has been issued. A license under this chapter is not a blanket approval of a property's overall legal compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 266-17, operators who hold a rental license issued pursuant to Chapter 266 should understand that the license addresses only the licensing requirement itself — it does not substitute for compliance with New York State law, town ordinances, county regulations, or applicable health codes. Compliant operators typically maintain awareness of all overlapping regulatory obligations, including building codes, habitability standards, and health regulations, as separate and ongoing duties. Holding a license does not shield a property owner from enforcement actions brought under other legal frameworks.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 266-17 makes clear that a landlord's possession of a rental license under Chapter 266 does not mean the rental unit meets every legal standard — other state, town, county, and health requirements still apply independently. Tenants who believe a condition in their unit violates a health regulation or other local ordinance may raise that concern as a separate matter, regardless of the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations or local code enforcement offices can be resources for understanding which additional standards may apply to a given rental situation.
