North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-5
Application
Operative Text
A. The provisions of this chapter shall supersede local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations to the extent that such laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the adoption and enforcement of a law, ordinance, code or regulation which is more restrictive or establishes a higher standard than those provided in this chapter, and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard shall govern during the period in which it is in effect. B. 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 more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Section 103-5 of North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 establishes how this chapter interacts with other local laws and regulations. When this chapter conflicts with another local rule, whichever standard is more protective or more restrictive takes precedence — this chapter does not automatically override stricter requirements elsewhere. Conversely, this chapter supersedes inconsistent local rules that set a lower standard, ensuring a baseline level of protection remains in place.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 103-5, property owners and managers operating in North Collins must be aware that compliance with this chapter does not necessarily mean full compliance with all applicable local requirements. Where another local law, zoning rule, building code, or health regulation imposes a stricter standard than ch. 103, that stricter standard governs. Operators generally review all overlapping local codes — including fire, plumbing, electrical, and health regulations — to identify which requirement sets the higher bar and apply that one.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 103-5 means that tenants in North Collins benefit from whichever local standard is most protective, whether that comes from this chapter or from another applicable local law or code. If a landlord claims compliance with ch. 103 while a stricter building, health, or safety regulation also applies, the stricter rule still governs. Tenants who believe a property falls short of applicable standards can look into filing a complaint with the relevant local enforcement authority or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand which rules apply to their situation.
