Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 139-11
Effect on other provisions
Operative Text
Anything contained in any other local law of the Village to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this chapter shall supersede such contrary provisions.
Section 139-11 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes that Chapter 139 takes precedence over any conflicting local laws within the Village. Where another Village ordinance contradicts something in Chapter 139, the rent regulation chapter controls. This is a standard supremacy or preemption clause that resolves conflicts between local laws in favor of the rent regulations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 139-11, property owners and managers operating in Sleepy Hollow should be aware that Chapter 139's rent regulations override any conflicting provisions found elsewhere in the Village's local laws. Compliant operators generally look first to Chapter 139 when a question arises about which local rule governs a rental housing matter. Familiarity with the full scope of Chapter 139 is therefore important when assessing obligations under any other Village ordinance that touches on rental housing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 139-11 means that if another Village ordinance appears to conflict with a tenant's rights under Chapter 139, the rent regulation chapter takes precedence. Tenants who believe a landlord is relying on a conflicting local provision to avoid Chapter 139 obligations may raise this supersession clause as a relevant point in any complaint or proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Sleepy Hollow's local laws can help explain how § 139-11 may interact with other Village rules in a given context.
