Valatie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 254 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 254-3
Construal of provisions
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall supplement local laws, codes or regulations existing in the Village of Valatie and the other statutes and regulations of municipal authorities having jurisdiction applicable thereto. Where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with any provision of a local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes the higher standard shall prevail.
Chapter 254, Section 254-3 of Valatie's Code of Ordinances establishes how its rental housing rules interact with other applicable laws and regulations. Rather than replacing existing local laws, codes, or regulations, this chapter's provisions work alongside them. When a conflict arises between this chapter and another rule, whichever provision is stricter or sets the higher standard takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 254-3, property owners and managers operating in the Village of Valatie must be aware that this chapter does not exist in isolation — it layers on top of other applicable local laws, codes, and regulations. When two rules appear to conflict, the more restrictive requirement governs, meaning compliance with a less stringent rule does not automatically satisfy all obligations. Operators generally review all applicable local, village, and state requirements together to ensure they are meeting the highest applicable standard across the board.

Section 254-3 means that tenants in Valatie may benefit from whichever rule — whether from this chapter or another applicable local law or code — provides the greater protection. If a landlord points to a less restrictive rule to justify a practice, this provision makes clear that the stricter standard still applies. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred can look into filing a complaint with the relevant village authority or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand which standard governs their situation.
