Schaghticoke, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 89 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 89-2
Purpose
Operative Text
A. The purpose of this chapter is to promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community, including the protection and preservation of the property of the Town of Schaghticoke and of its inhabitants, by establishing specific requirements and regulations governing the occupancy and maintenance of mobile homes and mobile home parks. B. The provisions of this chapter shall supersede all local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations to the extent that such local 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 a higher standard shall govern during the period in which it is in effect. C. In a case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of a zoning, building, housing, electrical ordinance or regulation adopted pursuant thereto or any other local, county or state law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is the most restrictive or which establishes a higher standard shall prevail.
Section 89-2 of Schaghticoke's Code of Ordinances establishes the overarching purpose of Chapter 89: to protect community health, safety, morals, and general welfare by setting rules for the occupancy and maintenance of mobile homes and mobile home parks. The chapter generally takes precedence over conflicting local rules, but any law or regulation that is stricter than Chapter 89 will control instead. When this chapter conflicts with zoning, building, housing, or electrical codes, the more restrictive or higher-standard requirement prevails.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile homes and mobile home parks in Schaghticoke should be aware that § 89-2 establishes Chapter 89 as the governing framework for occupancy and maintenance standards. Because stricter local, county, or state rules automatically take precedence over Chapter 89, compliant operators generally review all applicable zoning, building, and housing codes to identify whichever standard is most restrictive and apply that standard. Keeping documentation of which regulatory layer governs each requirement is a common practice for operators managing properties under overlapping regulatory schemes.

Section 89-2 signals that residents of mobile homes and mobile home parks in Schaghticoke are protected by a layered set of standards — if any applicable law sets a higher bar than Chapter 89, that higher standard applies to their living conditions. Tenants who believe maintenance or occupancy conditions fall short of these standards may raise the relevant requirement as a basis for a complaint or as a defense in a proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing offices can help residents identify which regulatory layer — Chapter 89 or a more restrictive rule — governs a particular concern.
