Stillwater, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 134 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 134-14
Issuance of permit not to waive compliance with other statutes or ordinances
Operative Text
The issuance of any permit pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall not be deemed to waive compliance by any person with any statute of the State of New York or law, ordinance or health regulation of the Town or of the county.
Section 134-14 of Stillwater's Code of Ordinances establishes that receiving a permit under Chapter 134 does not exempt anyone from complying with other applicable laws. This means a permit holder must still follow New York State statutes, as well as any Town or county ordinances and health regulations that apply to their property or activity. The permit itself carries no blanket authorization to bypass other legal requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 134-14, property owners and managers who obtain a permit through Chapter 134 should understand that the permit addresses only what it specifically covers — it does not substitute for compliance with state law, local ordinances, or county health regulations. Operators generally maintain awareness of all overlapping regulatory requirements, such as building codes, health codes, and zoning rules, that remain in effect regardless of permit status. Treating a Chapter 134 permit as a comprehensive clearance can expose an operator to violations under other applicable frameworks.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 134-14 makes clear that a landlord's possession of a Chapter 134 permit does not shield them from obligations under New York State law, Town ordinances, or county health regulations. Tenants who believe a property condition violates a health regulation or local ordinance may raise that concern independently of whether a permit was issued, since the permit provides no waiver of those separate requirements. Tenant-rights organizations and local code enforcement offices can be resources for understanding which additional regulations may apply to a given situation.
