Southeast, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 108-2
Applicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to all rental dwelling units located within the Town of Southeast. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes and regulations. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Town, county or state or existing requirements of any other provision of local laws or ordinances of the Town or county or state laws and regulations. In case of conflict between any provision of this chapter 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 chapter does not make legal any action or state of facts that is otherwise illegal under any other applicable legislation.
Southeast, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-2 establishes that the rental dwelling unit regulations in Chapter 108 apply to every rental unit within the Town of Southeast. These rules are designed to work alongside—not replace—existing state, county, and local laws, meaning multiple layers of regulation may apply simultaneously to the same property. When Chapter 108 conflicts with another applicable law or regulation, whichever standard is stricter governs, and obtaining a permit or filing a form under this chapter does not legalize anything that would otherwise be unlawful under other applicable rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.

Compliant operators generally track obligations under multiple regulatory frameworks simultaneously, since Chapter 108 supplements rather than replaces other rules. Receiving a permit or completing a filing under this chapter does not shield a property from scrutiny under other applicable laws, so operators typically ensure compliance across all relevant codes.

Southeast, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-2 confirms that every rental dwelling unit in the Town of Southeast falls under this chapter's protections, which stack on top of any existing state and county tenant protections. Because the stricter standard always prevails in a conflict, tenants may have access to a broader set of rights than any single law alone would provide. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can explore options such as raising the violation with the Town, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or reviewing applicable state and county remedies that may run concurrently with Chapter 108.
