Sands Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-3
Applicability; more restrictive provisions to prevail
Operative Text
A. Scope. This section shall apply to all Rental Dwelling Units located within the Village, whether or not the use and occupancy thereof shall be permitted under the applicable use regulations for the zoning district in which such Rental Dwelling Unit is located, as in this section provided. B. Applicability. The provisions of this section shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations; and nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede, or replace existing remedies of the Village, county, state, or existing requirements of any other applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes, or regulations. In case of conflict between any provision of this section and any applicable state or local law, ordinance, code, or regulation, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail. The issuance of any permit or the filing of any form under this section does not make legal any action or statement of facts that is otherwise illegal under any other applicable legislation.
Section 127-3 of Sands Point's Code of Ordinances establishes that the village's rental dwelling unit rules apply to every rental unit within village limits, regardless of whether the unit's use is permitted under local zoning. The section is designed to work alongside—not replace—existing state and local laws, meaning all other applicable requirements remain fully in force. When this chapter's rules conflict with another law or regulation, whichever standard is stricter governs, and obtaining a permit or filing a form under this chapter does not legalize anything that is otherwise prohibited by other law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 127-3, operators of rental dwelling units in Sands Point must comply with this chapter even if a unit's zoning status is irregular or uncertain. Because the more restrictive provision always prevails in any conflict between this chapter and other state or local requirements, compliant operators generally audit their properties against all applicable layers of law—village, county, and state—rather than assuming that satisfying one set of rules is sufficient. Receiving a permit or completing a filing under § 127-3 does not shield a property from liability under any other applicable legislation.

Section 127-3 confirms that every rental dwelling unit in Sands Point falls within the chapter's scope, giving tenants a broad baseline of coverage regardless of the unit's zoning status. Because this provision preserves all existing state and local remedies rather than replacing them, tenants retain access to whatever rights and enforcement paths exist under other applicable laws, ordinances, and codes. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating overlapping requirements may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or local housing authority to understand which set of rules—village, county, or state—offers the strongest protection under § 127-3's more-restrictive-prevails standard.
