Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-63
Applicability to other legislation
Operative Text
The provisions of this Part 3 shall supplement any zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, fire, safety, or health law, code or regulation of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, the Westchester County Board of Health, the County of Westchester and the State of New York.
Section 245-63 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes that the rental housing rules in Part 3 operate alongside—rather than in place of—other applicable laws. This means that zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, fire, safety, and health regulations from the Village, Westchester County, and New York State all remain fully in effect. Compliance with Part 3 does not exempt anyone from obligations under those other legal frameworks.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 245-63, operators of rental properties in Sleepy Hollow must satisfy Part 3's requirements in addition to all other applicable Village, county, and state codes. A compliant operator generally tracks obligations across multiple regulatory layers—including building, fire, electrical, and health codes—rather than treating Part 3 as a comprehensive or standalone standard. Staying current with requirements from bodies such as the Westchester County Board of Health and New York State agencies is part of routine compliance.

Section 245-63 makes clear that tenants in Sleepy Hollow may have protections and remedies under several overlapping bodies of law simultaneously. If a housing condition appears to violate Part 3, it may also implicate Village building codes, Westchester County health regulations, or New York State law—each of which can provide independent grounds for a complaint or other action. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester County can help identify which agencies or enforcement paths apply to a particular type of housing concern.
