Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 185 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 185-3
Application of provisions
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall supplement local laws, codes or regulations existing in the Village of Lynbrook and the other statutes and regulations of municipal authorities having jurisdiction applicable thereto. Where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with any provision of a local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Section 185-3 of Lynbrook's Code of Ordinances establishes how the housing chapter interacts with other applicable laws and regulations. Rather than replacing existing local or state rules, this chapter layers on top of them as a supplement. When any conflict arises between this chapter and another law or regulation, whichever provision is stricter or sets the higher standard automatically takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 185-3, property owners and managers operating in the Village of Lynbrook must be aware that compliance with one set of rules does not guarantee compliance with all applicable rules. Because this chapter supplements rather than replaces other local laws and regulations, a compliant operator generally reviews all overlapping requirements—village, county, and state—and applies whichever standard is most stringent. Tracking which layer of regulation imposes the highest requirement is a routine part of responsible property management in Lynbrook.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 185-3 means that tenants in Lynbrook may be protected by multiple overlapping layers of housing regulation simultaneously, not just the provisions of Chapter 185. If a landlord claims compliance with one rule while potentially falling short of a stricter overlapping requirement, that stricter standard still applies. Tenants who believe a violation exists can raise this layering principle when filing a complaint with the relevant municipal authority or when consulting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on which standard governs their situation.
