Mount Kisco, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-49
Supersession of Village Law
Operative Text
Each of the provisions of this chapter is hereby readopted without substantive change by local law, pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York. The provisions of this chapter, and the provisions establishing penalties for violating this chapter set forth elsewhere in this Code, shall supersede the provisions of the Village Law to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith.
Section 72-49 of Mount Kisco's Code of Ordinances establishes that the local housing chapter was formally re-enacted as a local law under New York's Municipal Home Rule Law, without changing its substance. Where the chapter's rules—including its penalty provisions found elsewhere in the Code—conflict with the state's Village Law, the local chapter takes precedence. This supersession clause is a structural legal mechanism that gives the local ordinance authority to operate independently of inconsistent state-level defaults.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 72-49, property owners and managers operating in Mount Kisco should recognize that the local rental regulations in Chapter 72 carry the full force of a locally enacted law, not merely an administrative rule. Where state Village Law might otherwise set a different standard, the local chapter and its associated penalty provisions govern. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full Mount Kisco Code—including penalty sections cross-referenced from Chapter 72—rather than relying solely on state law defaults.

Section 72-49 means that tenants in Mount Kisco are protected by locally enacted rules that can go beyond or differ from what New York's general Village Law provides. If a landlord argues that state law permits conduct that the local chapter restricts, § 72-49 establishes that the local ordinance controls where the two conflict. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consult the Village of Mount Kisco directly, review the penalty provisions referenced elsewhere in the Code, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand which rules apply.
