LeRoy Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 128 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 128-4
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
Where a provision of this chapter 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.
Section 128-4 of LeRoy Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a conflict-resolution rule for Chapter 128: when this chapter's requirements clash with those of another local law or regulation—such as zoning, building, fire, health, or plumbing codes—the stricter or higher standard automatically takes precedence. This means no single code can be used to justify a lower level of compliance than another applicable code demands. The rule ensures that overlapping regulatory frameworks default to the most protective requirement rather than the least.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 128-4, property owners and managers operating in LeRoy Village must be aware that compliance with one local code does not excuse a failure to meet a stricter requirement found in another. A compliant operator generally reviews all applicable codes—including zoning, building, fire, and health regulations—and applies whichever standard is most demanding when conflicts arise. Keeping records of how conflicting requirements were identified and resolved can support a showing of good-faith compliance across overlapping regulatory frameworks.

Section 128-4 provides tenants with a structural protection: if a landlord points to one local code to justify a condition that another, stricter code would prohibit, the stricter standard is the one that governs. Tenants who believe a housing condition falls short of the higher applicable standard may raise this provision when filing a complaint with a local code enforcement office or when consulting a tenant-rights organization. Understanding that § 128-4 defaults to the most protective rule can be relevant when evaluating whether a reported condition has been properly addressed.
