Lindenhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 141 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 141-7
Conflict with other provisions
Operative Text
Where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with any provisions of any other law, the provision or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Section 141-7 of Lindenhurst's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 141, establishes a conflict-resolution rule: when this chapter's requirements clash with those of another applicable law, whichever provision is stricter or sets a higher standard takes precedence. This means the more protective or demanding rule governs, rather than defaulting to the newer or more specific law. The provision does not eliminate either conflicting rule—it simply determines which one controls in a given overlap.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 141-7, property owners and managers operating in Lindenhurst must be aware that compliance with a less stringent external law does not automatically satisfy Chapter 141 obligations. Compliant operators generally review both Chapter 141 and any other applicable local, state, or federal requirements to identify which standard is more restrictive, then meet that higher bar. Keeping documentation of this comparative review can help demonstrate good-faith compliance across overlapping regulatory frameworks.

Section 141-7 of Chapter 141 means that tenants may benefit from whichever rule—whether from this chapter or another applicable law—offers greater protection, since the stricter standard prevails. If a landlord claims compliance with a different law as justification for a practice that appears to conflict with Chapter 141, this provision may be relevant to evaluating that claim. Tenants who believe a conflict between laws is being resolved incorrectly can consult a local tenant-rights organization or housing authority for general guidance on how overlapping rules are applied.
