Syracuse, N.Y., Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27 § 27-183
Enforcement
Operative Text
The enforcement by the city of Syracuse of this article in the manner provided herein shall not be deemed to limit in any manner the city of Syracuse's authority to enforce the provisions of other federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations against businesses covered by this article.
Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 12 § 27-183 establishes that the city's enforcement of Article 12 operates alongside — not instead of — its authority to enforce other applicable federal, state, and local laws. In other words, a business subject to this article can still be held accountable under separate legal frameworks even when the city is also acting under Article 12. The provision prevents any interpretation that enforcement of this article somehow shields covered businesses from other regulatory obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 12 § 27-183, property owners and managers covered by Article 12 should understand that compliance with this article does not insulate them from obligations under other federal, state, or local laws. Operators generally maintain awareness of the full range of applicable regulations — including housing codes, fair housing laws, and other local ordinances — because the city retains authority to enforce all of them concurrently. Keeping records of compliance efforts across multiple regulatory frameworks is a common practice among operators in this context.

Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 12 § 27-183 makes clear that tenants are not limited to remedies available under Article 12 alone — the city can also enforce other federal, state, and local protections that may apply to their situation. This means that if a concern arises, there may be multiple regulatory avenues through which the city could act, and tenants may have rights under overlapping legal frameworks. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can help identify which bodies of law may be relevant to a particular set of circumstances.
