Marlborough, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 102 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 102-12
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to abrogate any provisions of the Sanitary Code of the State of New York or of the County of Ulster as the same now provides or may hereafter be amended to provide. ln the event of inconsistencies existing between the provisions of this chapter and said code or codes, said code or codes shall govern.
Section 102-12 of Marlborough's Code of Ordinances establishes a hierarchy of authority between the local housing chapter and state or county sanitary codes. Where any conflict or inconsistency arises between the local chapter's provisions and the New York State Sanitary Code or Ulster County's Sanitary Code, the state or county code takes precedence. This rule also ensures that future amendments to those higher-level codes are automatically respected, so the local chapter cannot be read to undercut them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Marlborough, N.Y., Code ch. 102 § 102-12 should be aware that compliance with the local chapter does not substitute for compliance with the New York State Sanitary Code or the Ulster County Sanitary Code. Compliant property managers typically review both the local ordinance and the applicable sanitary codes together, since the sanitary codes govern whenever the two conflict. Staying current with amendments to those state and county codes is part of maintaining full compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Marlborough, N.Y., Code ch. 102 § 102-12, tenants retain the full protections of the New York State Sanitary Code and the Ulster County Sanitary Code, even if the local chapter might otherwise suggest a lesser standard. If a housing condition appears to violate sanitary code requirements, tenants may raise that violation through the applicable state or county enforcement channels, or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. The provision's hierarchy means that stronger sanitary-code protections cannot be waived or reduced by the local ordinance.
