Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-37
Compliance with applicable regulations required
Operative Text
The construction, installation, maintenance, alteration, operation, repair, use, location, moving, removal, demolition and any other work performed in connection with required compactor equipment shall conform to, shall be done in compliance with and shall be governed by the provisions of all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the Incorporated Village of Thomaston and of all governmental bodies, agencies and officials having jurisdiction thereof and, without limiting the foregoing, all the provisions of this section regulating and governing any specific type of work which is similar to the work to be performed in connection with such compactor equipment; provided, however, that where this section imposes a greater requirement or standard for such work, such greater requirement or standard shall control.
Section 116-37 of Thomaston's Code of Ordinances establishes that all work related to required compactor equipment — including construction, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, operation, use, moving, removal, and demolition — must comply with every applicable law, ordinance, rule, and regulation from the Village of Thomaston and any other governmental body with jurisdiction. The provision also specifies that where Chapter 116 itself sets a stricter standard than another applicable rule, the stricter standard in Chapter 116 controls. This creates a layered compliance framework in which the most demanding applicable requirement governs compactor-related work.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to § 116-37 generally ensure that any work touching required compactor equipment — from initial installation through ongoing maintenance and eventual removal — is carried out in conformance with all Village of Thomaston ordinances, state rules, and regulations of any other agency with jurisdiction. Compliant operators typically identify which body's rules apply to each specific type of work and, where Chapter 116 imposes a higher standard than another regulation, apply the Chapter 116 standard. Keeping documentation of permits, inspections, and contractor qualifications is a common practice for demonstrating compliance across the multiple regulatory layers this section references.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 116-37 means that tenants living in buildings with required compactor equipment have the benefit of a rule requiring that all compactor-related work meet the highest applicable regulatory standard — not merely the minimum set by any single agency. If compactor equipment appears to be installed, maintained, or operated in a way that falls short of Village of Thomaston or other applicable standards, tenants can raise concerns with the Village's relevant code enforcement office or other agencies with jurisdiction. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Thomaston's local code can help residents understand which governmental bodies oversee compliance with provisions like § 116-37 and what complaint or inspection processes may be available.
