Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-3
Applicability; more restrictive provisions to prevail
Operative Text
A. Scope. This chapter shall apply to all rental dwellings located within the Village, whether or not the use and occupancy thereof shall be permitted as provided in this chapter. B. Applicability. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes and regulations; and nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Village, county or state or existing requirements of any other applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. In case of conflict between any provision of this chapter and any applicable state or local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail. The issuance of any permit or the filing of any form under this chapter does not make legal any action or statement of facts that is otherwise illegal under any other applicable legislation.
Lake Success Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-3 establishes that the rental-dwelling regulations in Chapter 83 cover every rental unit in the Village, regardless of whether that unit's occupancy is otherwise permitted. The chapter is designed to work alongside—not replace—existing state and local laws, meaning all other applicable rules remain fully in force. When Chapter 83 conflicts with another law or regulation, whichever standard is stricter governs, and obtaining a permit or filing a form under this chapter does not legalize anything that is independently prohibited by other law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lake Success Code ch. 83 § 83-3, operators of rental dwellings in the Village are subject to this chapter's requirements across all their units, even units whose occupancy status may be in question. Compliant operators generally track not only Chapter 83's requirements but also any overlapping state or local rules, applying whichever standard is more stringent when the two conflict. Receiving a permit or completing a filing under Chapter 83 does not shield a property from liability under other applicable laws, so operators typically review all relevant regulatory frameworks together.

Section 83-3 of Lake Success Code ch. 83 means that every rental dwelling in the Village falls under this chapter's protections, and those protections stack on top of—rather than replace—rights available under state and county law. Where Chapter 83 and another law set different standards, tenants benefit from whichever rule is stricter. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may explore remedies available under Chapter 83 as well as any parallel state or local provisions, and tenant-rights organizations can help identify which set of rules offers the strongest applicable protections.
